  • Publication number: 20210171645
    Abstract: The present invention provides new, fully human EphA4 monoclonal antibodies with distinct binding characteristics. Also disclosed are antigen binding fragments of these antibodies, bispecific forms of these antibodies, and conjugates of these antibodies. In addition, nucleic acids encoding these antibodies, antigen binding fragments, bispecific antibodies and conjugates are disclosed. These monoclonal antibodies, antigen binding fragments, bispecific antibodies, conjugates, nucleic acids and vectors are of use for identifying and treating a subject with a disease or condition involving abnormal EphA4-mediated signaling.

  • Publication number: 20200206220
    Abstract: New methods and kits for treating diseases caused or exacerbated by overactivated EphA4 signaling are provided. The method includes administering to a subject in need thereof an effective amount of a small molecule compound inhibitor for EphA4 signaling. Also provided are methods for identifying additional compounds as therapeutic agents useful for treating conditions involving overly active EphA4 signaling.

  • Patent number: 9629863
    Abstract: Natural occurring inhibitors of cyclin-dependent protein kinase 5 (Cdk5), isolated from the root of Rhodiola rosea are structurally different from the known Cdk inhibitors. They show selectivity among different Cdks and efficacy to inhibit Cdk via a mixed-type of inhibition, which should lead to less toxicity and side-effects. They are useful in preventing and treating diseases and disorders associated with aberrant Cdk5 activities, such as acute and/or chronic pain, neuropathic pain, diabetes mellitus, cancer, neurodegenerative diseases and neuropathological disorders.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 9629830
    Abstract: Provided is the discovery of the role of EphA4 signaling in neurodegenerative disorders involving ?-amyloid induced neurotoxicity such as Alzheimer's Disease. New therapeutic methods, therapeutic agents, and kits for treating diseases caused or exacerbated by overactivated EphA4 signaling are provided. Also provided are methods for identifying additional compounds as therapeutic agents useful for treating conditions involving overly active EphA4 signaling.
