Abstract: The present invention refers to a new site-specific monoclonal antibody for tau protein and its use as a tool in specific biomarkers. It also discloses the process of generating said site-specific monoclonal antibody, and kits for early detection of neurodegenerative diseases and pathologies involved with the tau protein, such as Alzheimer's and other types of dementia.

Abstract: Use of benzimidazole-derived compounds of formula (I) according to the following structure, wherein x is a heteroatom selected from N, S, O, P, SO, SO2 and SO3, preferably from N, S and SO3 and most preferably from N and SO3; n may be 0 or 1, R1 is a group selected from formula (II) and formula (III) and R2 is a group selected from H and formula (IV) since the aforesaid serves for the production of a formulation used as a specific marker in the case of neurodegenerative diseases and tau pathologies.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a potent antioxidant neuroprotective nutraceutical composition that comprises blending extract of Shilajit (250 to 500 mg) and folic acid (200 to 400 ?g), together with small amounts of vitamins B6 (20 to 40 ?g) and B12 (4 to 8 ?g) consumed per day. This composition can be used to prevent and to treat neurodegenerative diseases or episodes of cognitive deterioration arising from various pathological conditions. The use thereof is indicated in the treatment of Alzheimer's disease and senile dementia as the pathological conditions preferably to be treated. The composition is suitable for direct human consumption by mouth, either in solid form as a powder or as a suspension of the extract, as a food additive or as a nutraceutical agent. It may be formulated as a nutraceutical agent to be included as an ingredient in beverages or as a drug in conjunction with permitted excipients.
