Selective Serotonin 2A/2C Receptor Inverse Agonists As Therapeutics For Neurodegenerative Diseases
US Patent:
8377959, Feb 19, 2013
Filed:
Jun 29, 2012
Appl. No.:
13/539011
Inventors:
David M. Weiner - San Diego CA, US Robert E. Davis - San Diego CA, US Mark R. Brann - Rye NH, US Carl-Magnus A. Andersson - Hjärup, SE Allan K. Uldam - Vaerloese, DK
Assignee:
ACADIA Pharmaceuticals, Inc. - San Diego CA
International Classification:
A61K 31/47, A61K 31/445
US Classification:
514310, 514317
Abstract:
Behavioral pharmacological data with the compound of formula (I), a novel and selective 5HT2A/2C receptor inverse agonist, demonstrate in vivo efficacy in models of psychosis and dyskinesias. This includes activity in reversing MK-801 induced locomotor behaviors, suggesting that this compound may be an efficacious anti-psychotic, and activity in an MPTP primate model of dyskinesias, suggesting efficacy as an anti-dyskinesia agent. These data support the hypothesis that 5HT2A/2C receptor inverse agonism may confer antipsychotic and anti-dyskinetic efficacy in humans, and indicate a use of the compound of formula (I) and related agents as novel therapeutics for Parkinson's Disease, related human neurodegenerative diseases, and psychosis.

International Classification:
C12Q 1/68, G01N 33/53
US Classification:
435 6, 435 72
Abstract:
Disclosed herein are methods for enabling or improving functional assays of G-protein coupled receptors through the use of co-expression of helper genes. In some cases, chimeras linking the regulatory domain of the rap1B protein to the effector region of the ras oncogene are used in conduction with existing functional assays for cellular proliferation. Furthermore, overexpression of other genes can further augment the enabling properties of ras/rap chimeras.
Use Of N-Desmethylclozapine To Treat Human Neuropsychia Tric Disease
US Patent:
2006019, Sep 7, 2006
Filed:
May 3, 2006
Appl. No.:

Inventors:
David Weiner - San Diego CA, US Mark Brann - Del Mar CA, US
International Classification:
A61K 31/551
US Classification:
514220000
Abstract:
Disclosed herein is a method to treat neuropsychiatric diseases including psychosis, affective disorders, dementia, neuropathic pain, and glaucoma. Treatment is carried out by administering a therapeutically effective amount of N-desmethylclozapine to a patient suffering from a neuropsychiatric disease.

Methods Of Identifying Inverse Agonists Of The Serotonin 2A Receptor
US Patent:
2005014, Jul 7, 2005
Filed:
Mar 4, 2005
Appl. No.:
11/073313
Inventors:
David Weiner - San Diego CA, US Mark Brann - Del Mar CA, US
International Classification:
C12Q001/68, A61K038/00
US Classification:
435006000, 514002000
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a method of identifying compounds which act as inverse agonists of the 5-HT2A receptor, the method comprising contacting a constitutively active 5-HT2A receptor with at least one test compound and determining any decrease in the level of basal activity of the receptor so as to identify a test compound which is an inverse agonist of the 5-HT2A receptor. Such inverse agonists may be used in the treatment of schizophrenia and related psychoses.
