  • Patent number: 9289488
    Abstract: The method and constructs disclosed and claimed herein allow to control peptide conformation by modulation of the peptide lipidation pattern, spacer and liposome composition, or via co-administration with small molecules. Accordingly, this technology can be applied to the rational design of liposomal vaccines and for the generation of safer and more efficacious therapies for a range of human disease, in particular those based on misfolded proteins.

  • Patent number: 8673940
    Abstract: The present invention relates to novel compounds of formula (II) that can be employed in the treatment of a group of disorders and abnormalities associated with amyloid protein, such as Alzheimer's disease, and of diseases or conditions associated with amyloid-like proteins. The compounds of the present invention can also be used in the treatment of ocular diseases associated with pathological abnormalities/changes in the tissues of the visual system. The present invention further relates to pharmaceutical compositions comprising these compounds and to the use of these compounds for the preparation of medicaments for treating, or preventing diseases or conditions associated with amyloid and/or amyloid-like proteins. A method of treating or preventing diseases or conditions associated with amyloid and/or amyloid-like proteins is also disclosed.
