Abstract: Disclosed herein are compounds, compositions and methods for the treatment of neurological, psychiatric disorders which are characterised by a fundamental disruption of social behaviour, and substance use disorders. In particular, disclosed herein are compounds of Formula (I), or salts or prodrugs thereof. Methods of treating or preventing neurological, psychiatric disorders and substance use disorders, using compounds of Formula (I), or salts and prodrugs are also disclosed.

Abstract: The present invention relates to new pharmaceutical agents, and to their use in the treatment of proliferative diseases, such as cancer (in particular, brain cancer).

Abstract: The present invention relates to compounds and methods for imaging translocator protein (18 kDa) (TSPO) expression in a subject. This invention also relates to compounds and methods for the treatment of neurodegenerative disorders, inflammation or anxiety in a subject.

Abstract: The invention provides compounds of formula (I) radiolabelled with 18F, 123I, 76Br, 124I or 75Br and salts thereof, and a method of imaging translocator protein (18 kDa) (TSPO) in a subject comprising administering a compound of formula (I) radiolabelled with 18F, 123I, 76Br, 124I or 75 Br or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof. The invention further provides fluoro-substituted compounds of formula (II) and salts thereof, and a method of treating a neurodegenerative disorder, inflammation or anxiety in a subject comprising administering a compound of formula (II) or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof.

Abstract: A compound of formula (I) wherein, X and Y independently bind TSPO, wherein X and Y are the same or different; and L is a linker that links X to Y; or a salt or solvate thereof. For preference, X and Y may be (II) or (III). The compounds may be radiolabeled with a radioisotope. Also methods for diagnosing or treating TSPO related disorders such as neurodegenerative disorder, inflammation or anxiety, eg. Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, Huntington's disease, multiple sclerosis, multiple system atrophy, epilepsy, encephalopathy, stroke, brain tumour, anxiety, stress, emotional disturbances or cognitive impairment, glioblastoma, ischemic stroke, herpes encephalitis, HIV, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, corticobasal degeneration, cancer, depression, an auto-immune disease and an infectious disease.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to radiolabeled epibatidine analogues, specifically FPH labeled with radioisotopes of fluorine and/or carbon. These radiolabeled epibatidine compounds are used to noninvasively image and quantify nicotinic cholinergic receptors in the living brain for both research studies and the diagnosis of neurodegenerative diseases.
