  • Patent number: 7153491
    Abstract: This invention relates to a novel method of screening for inhibitors of beta-amyloid production, and thereby identifying such inhibitors as therapeutics for neurological and other disorders involving APP processing and beta-amyloid production. This invention also relates to identifying macromolecules involved in APP processing and beta-amyloid production. Furthermore, inhibitors identified by the screening method of the present invention are useful in the treatment of neurological disorders, such as Alzheimer's disease, which involve elevated levels of A? peptides.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: December 11, 2003
    Date of Patent: December 26, 2006
    Assignee: Bristol-Myers Squibb Pharma Company
    Inventors: Robert Zaczek, Richard E. Olson, Dietmar A. Seiffert, Lorin Andrew Thompson
  • Publication number: 20050129612
    Abstract: This invention relates to a method of using radiolabelled and/or radiopharmaceutical small molecule inhibitors of beta-amyloid peptide production for the diagnosis of neurological and other disorders involving APP processing and beta-amyloid production. Furthermore, radiolabelled small molecule inhibitors identified by the methods of the present invention would be useful in the diagnosis of neurological disorders, such as Alzheimer's disease, which involve elevated levels of A? peptides.

  • Patent number: 5750528
    Abstract: Compounds which block neuronal M-channels are useful for treating conditions involving neurotransmitter deficiencies, traumatic brain injury, or the depressive phase of bipolar disorder. Compounds can be evaluated for utility in treating these conditions by determining whether they are capable of blocking neuronal M-channels.
