Abstract: The present invention relates to the use of N-(2-thiazolyl)-amide derivatives of formula (I), for the treatment and/or prophylaxis of a disease in which glycogen synthase kinase 3 (GSK-3) is involved, especially neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer's disease, or non-insulin dependent diabetes mellitus.

Abstract: The present invention relates to the use of N-(2-thiazolyl)-amide derivatives of formula (I) for the treatment and/or prophylaxis of a disease in which glycogen synthase kinase 3 (GSK-3) is involved, especially neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer's disease, or non-insulin dependent diabetes mellitus.

Abstract: The invention relates to urea derivatives of formula (I) as inhibitors of glycogen synthase kinase 3?, GSK-3, to processes of preparation of such compounds, to pharmaceutical compositions comprising them, and to their use for the treatment and or prophylaxis of a disease in which GSK-3 is involved, such as Alzheimer's disease or non-insulin dependent diabetes mellitus.

Abstract: Provided are thiadiazolidine compounds of formula I wherein R1 is an organic group having at least 8 atoms selected from C or O, which is not linked directly to the N through a —C(O)— and comprising at least an aromatic ring, and their pharmaceutical compositions. These compounds are selective GSK-3 inhibitors and have improved bioavailability. They are useful for the treatment of GSK-3 mediated diseases, among others Alzheimer's disease, type II diabetes, depression and brain injury.

Abstract: The invention is directed to a compound of formula (I) Having VDCC blocking activity. These compounds are useful for the treatment of a series of human diseases and conditions, especially cognitive or neurodegenerative diseases or conditions.

Abstract: The present invention relates to the use of Collismycin and derivatives thereof as inhibitors of oxidative stress in cells and their use for the preparation of medicaments for the treatment and/or prevention of oxidative stress-induced diseases or conditions, especially neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer's Disease and Parkinson's Disease.

Abstract: The invention provides butyrylcholinesterase inhibitors of formula (I), which contain an heterocyclic moiety and a 4 piperidine moiety with a linker in between. The compounds show a very high activity and selectivity towards BuChE, making them useful for the treatment and/or prophylaxis of cognitive disorders and/or neurodegenerative disorders.

Abstract: The invention provides compounds having a spiro heterocyclic unit connected through a linker of a certain length to another spiro cycle, an imidazole ring or an amide group. Some of these compounds have been obtained from Aplysinia cavernicola and a mixture of Aplysina fulva and Oceanapia. The compounds exhibit VDCC blocker activity; some also show acetylcholinesterase and butyrylcholinesterase inhibition activities. Therefore they are useful in the treatment of cognitive and neurodegenerative disorders, such as brain ischemia, stroke, cognitive disorders as senile dementia, cerebrovascular dementia, mild recognition impairment, attention deficit disorder, and/or neurodegenerative dementing disease with aberrant protein aggregations as specially Alzheimers's disease or condition, or prion disease as Creutzfeld-Jakob disease or Gerstmann-Straussler-Scheinker disease.
