  • Publication number: 20120035173
    Abstract: This invention relates to compounds, pharmaceutical compositions and methods for use in the prevention and treatment of cerebral insufficiency, including enhancement of receptor functioning in synapses in brain networks responsible for basic and higher order behaviors. These brain networks, which are involved in regulation of breathing, and cognitive abilities related to memory impairment, such as is observed in a variety of dementias, in imbalances in neuronal activity between different brain regions, as is suggested in disorders such as Parkinson's disease, schizophrenia, respiratory depression, sleep apneas, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder and affective or mood disorders, among numerous others. In a particular aspect, the invention relates to compounds useful for treatment of such conditions, and methods of using these compounds for such treatment.

  • Publication number: 20090069559
    Abstract: The present invention is based, in part, on our discovery of compounds that inhibit an activity of a sirtuin (e.g., compounds that inhibit or preferentially inhibit an activity of SIRT2) and are therefore believed useful in the treatment or prevention of diseases associated with sirtuin activity. These diseases include, but are not limited to, neurological disorders such as Parkinson's Disease (PD).
