The compounds provide a unique therapeutic option for disease processes related to neoplastic progression or acute or chronic inflammation.

Abstract: Methods for enhancing memory and/or learning and prevent neurodegeneration by administration of certain heterocyclic and aromatic compounds are described. The methods are particularly useful for treating patients suffering from a neurodegenerative disease such as (without limitation) Alzheimer's, Parkinsons's, Lou Gehrig's (ALS) disease or memory or learning impairment. A neuronal human cell-based assay that assess NF-kB gene up-regulation using a luciferase reporter is also provided that screens for compounds useful in methods for enhancing memory or learning.

Abstract: The present disclosure is concerned with certain pyrrolopyrimidine compounds that are capable of inhibiting certain protein kinases, and especially the leucine-rich repeat kinase 2 (LRRK2) protein. Compounds of the present disclosure can be used to treat a number of disorders caused by or associated with abnormal LRRK2 kinase activity. Compounds of the present disclosure can be used to treat disorders including neurodegenerative diseases such as Parkinson's disease; precancerous conditions and cancer; autoimmune disorders such as Crohn's disease, rheumatoid arthritis and psoriasis; and leprosy (Hansen's disease). This abstract is intended as a scanning tool for purposes of searching in the particular art and is not intended to be limiting of the present invention.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to certain amine derivatives of fused bicyclic heterocycles that inhibit the amine reuptake function of the biogenic amine transporters, dopamine transporter (DAT), serotonin transporter (SERT) and norepinephrine transporter (NET). Compounds of the present disclosure are potent inhibitors of the reuptake of dopamine (DA), serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine, 5-HT) and norepinephrine (NE) with full or partial maximal efficacy. The compounds with partial maximal efficacy in inhibiting reuptake of all three biogenic amines are herein referred to as partial triple uptake inhibitors (PTRIs). Compounds of the present disclosure are useful for treating depression, pain and substance abuse and relapse to substance abuse and addiction to substances such as cocaine, methamphetamine, nicotine and alcohol.
