Human leukocyte elastase (HLE) is a serine proteinase, capable of degrading a variety of structural matrix proteins. SSR69071 2-[(4-isopropyl-6-methoxy-1,1-dioxido-3-oxo-1,2-benzisothiazol-2(3H)-yl)methoxy]-9-(2-piperidin-1-ylethoxy)-4H-pyrido[1,2-a]pyrimidin-4-one was selected as a novel orally active HLE inhibitor for treatment of chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases, asthma, emphysema, cystic fibrosis and several inflammatory diseases (WO 01/44245 A1) (J. Pharm. Exp. Ther., submitted for publication).

Objectives: Ulcerative colitis (UC) is characterized by colonic inflammation, with neutrophils playing a key role in UC activity, prognosis, and response to therapies. Current UC therapeutics can have significant side effects and limited efficacy. ADS051 is a novel, oral, gut-restricted small molecule that modulates neutrophil migration and activation without in vitro suppression of T-cell activation.

Background: γ-Secretase modulators (GSMs) represent a promising therapy for Alzheimer's disease (AD). GSMs selectively reduce amyloidogenic long Aβ peptides (e.g.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFBackground: DYRK1A overexpression, common in neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer's (AD), contributes to neurofibrillary tangles via Tau protein hyperphosphorylation and amyloid plaque formation, key AD hallmarks. Therefore, DYRK1A has been regarded as a novel target for neurodegenerative diseases. However, developing DYRK1A selective inhibitors has been a difficult challenge due to the highly conserved ATP-binding site of protein kinases, particularly among the CMGC family.

Background: The impact of probiotics as gut and immunological modulator in restoring gut microbial balance and immune cells expression have generated much attention in the health sector. Its inhibitory effect on bacterial translocation and associated neural inflammatory processes has been reported. However, there is scarcity of data on its neuroprotective impact against neuroinflammation-associated neurodegeneration and memory impairment.

Background: Studies suggest a potential link between stroke and Alzheimer's disease wherein stroke may serve as a trigger for the onset or acceleration of Alzheimer's pathogenesis as damage to the brain's blood vessels may lead to the accumulation of amyloid beta protein which is a hallmark of Alzheimer's disease. Recent research has shown that stroke treatment may hold the key to treating Alzheimer's disease. The anti-inflammatory potentials of Cholinergic signaling are a novel therapeutic target in memory decline associated with Alzheimer's.
