Abstract: The invention relates to novel cyclodecapeptide compounds having formula (I) for use as drugs and, more specifically, for use in the diagnosis, prevention and/or treatment of neurodegenerative diseases, such as Wilson's disease and Alzheimer's disease, and for use in the diagnosis, prevention and/or treatment of poisoning with metal ions, such as copper and mercury ions. The invention also relates to pharmaceutical compositions comprising at least one compound having formula (I) as an active principle.

Abstract: The invention concerns the field of molecular probe architecture for in vivo imaging. More particularly, the invention concerns molecular constructs providing an imaging function activable in intracellular environment. The inventive fluorescence probes enable in particular images of certain targeted tissues to be formed, while maintaining a low background noise level and, preferably, while obtaining at the targeted tissue, an imaging signal increasing in time.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a polypeptide comprising the sequence RILAR (SEQ ID NO: 3), the use thereof in imaging methods, in diagnostic or prognostic methods and for use as a medicament.

Abstract: The invention relates to compounds comprising a photolabile protecting group and to the use thereof as coupling agents for the functionalisation of solid supports. The invention also relates to the solid supports functionalised by said compounds and to the use of same for the immobilisation of biological molecules of interest, such as nucleic acid molecules.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for preparing a grafted homodetic cyclopeptide forming a frame defining two surfaces, one surface being known as the upper surface and the other surface being known as the lower surface, both surfaces being grafted, characterized in the a linear peptide is synthesized, said synthesis is being carried out on modified amino acids or not, some of which include orthogonal protector groups, intramolecular cyclization of the protected linear peptide thus obtained is performed, all or part of the orthogonal protector groups are substituted by a protected precursor, and at least one molecule of therapeutic interest is grafted on one and/or the other surface of the frame by means of an oxime link.

Abstract: The invention concerns the use of VCAM-1 ligands in medical imagery, in particular for characterizing and/or therapeutic monitoring of cardiovascular diseases and more particularly for detecting vulnerable coronary atheroma. The invention also concerns the use of VCAM-1 ligands for making a medicine for treating a cardiovascular disease.

Abstract: A method for preparing a grafted homodetic cyclopeptide forming a framework that defines a grafted upper face and grafted lower face, including synthesizing a linear peptide from modified or unmodified amino acids, some of which carry orthogonal protective groups; intramolecular cyclizing the resulting protected linear peptide; substituting some or all of orthogonal protective groups with a protected precursor; and grafting at least one molecule of interest onto one and/or the other face of the framework via an oxime bond.

Abstract: The invention concerns the field of molecular probe architecture for in vivo imaging. More particularly, the invention concerns molecular constructs providing an imaging function activable in intracellular environment, said constructs being further bound to a vector which enables certain cells to be targeted, and said cells to be internalized. The inventive fluorescence probes enable in particular images of certain targeted tissues to be formed, while maintaining a low background noise level and, preferably, while obtaining at the targeted tissue, an imaging signal increasing in time.
