International Classification:
G01N 33/53
C12P 21/06
US Classification:
435 71, 435 691
Abstract:
The present invention is drawn to methods of characterization of the properties and functions of SV2 proteins. The invention further includes methods of identifying compounds or agents which modulate the activity of SV2 proteins. Included in these methods is the identification of compounds or agents which modulate the binding of levetiracetam SV2 proteins, including SV2A.

US Patent:
20100160372, Jun 24, 2010
Filed:
Nov 13, 2009
Appl. No.:
12/618265
Inventors:
Craig J. Justman - Cambridge MA, US
Tom N. Grammatopoulos - Boston MA, US
Berkley A. Lynch - Cambridge MA, US
Zhihua Liu - Chevy Chase MD, US
Assignee:
Link Medicine Corporation - Cambridge MA
International Classification:
A61K 31/4709
A61P 27/02
A61P 29/00
A61P 35/00
A61P 9/00
A61P 25/28
A61P 25/16
US Classification:
514312
Abstract:
Methods and pharmaceutical compositions comprising a low dose of a farnesyl transferase inhibitor useful in the treatment of proteinopathies are provided. These low doses are below the doses used in oncological treatments for which these compounds were initially designed. The treatment includes administering to a subject in need thereof a therapeutically effective amount of a farnesyl transferase inhibitor, wherein the amount is effective to inhibit the farnesylation of a non-Ras FTase substrate involved in the autophagy pathway without substantially affecting the farnesylation of Ras or other oncology related substrates. Treatments in accordance with the present invention may also include an acetylcholinesterase inhibitor, an activator of neurotrophic receptors, an NMDA antagonist, an amyloid deposit inhibitor, an antipsychotic agent, an antidepressant, an anxiolytic, or an antioxidant.
