  • Publication number: 20140171455
    Abstract: Methods for deterring microglia-mediated neurotoxicity in a human or non-human animal subjects comprising the step of inhibiting or blocking the intermediate-conductance calcium-activated potassium channel Kv1.3 in microglia, such as in subjects how suffer from neurodegenerative diseases (e.g., Alzheimer's Disease) or ischemic/anoxic/hypoxic conditions. The inhibition or blocking of the KCa1.3 channels may be accomplished by administering a substance that inhibits Kv1.3 in microglia. Examples of Kv1.3 inhibiting substances include certain 5-phenoxyalkoxypsoralens, such as (4-Phenoxybutoxy)psoralen (PAP-1) as well as certain 4-phenoxybutoxy-substituted heterocyclic compounds.

  • Publication number: 20140148483
    Abstract: The purpose of the present invention is to provide a method for predicting the effectiveness of an angiogenesis inhibitor in a subject suffering from a tumor. Provided is a method comprising a step of testing for the presence or absence of an a mutation or loss of expression of B-Raf and PTEN in a sample of tumor tissue from the subject. By using the presence or absence of or a mutation or loss of expression of B-Raf and PTEN as an indicator, this method enables the antitumor effectiveness of the angiogenesis inhibitor to be predicted without administering the angiogenesis inhibitor to the subject.
