Small Molecule Humanin Mimetics and Enhancers That Normalize Neuronal p-AKT as Novel Therapeutics for Alzheimer's Disease (UCLA Case No. 2023-230)
UCLA researchers in the Department of Neurology have discovered novel small molecule humanin mimetics for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease and other chronic conditions with dysregulated p-Akt. BACKGROUND: Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is the most common form of dementia accounting for 60-70% of all cases. Nearly 7 million Americans are living...

Boron Amino Acid Mimetics for PET Imaging of Cancer
Available for licensing and commercial development as imaging agents for positron emission tomography of cancer are boramino acid compounds. The inventors showed that mimetics created by substituting the carboxylate group (-COO-) of an amino acid with trifluoroborate (-BF3-) are metabolically stable and allow for the use of fluorene-18 (18F) as the...

Salen-Manganese Compounds for Therapy of Viral Infections
Salen-manganese compounds are synthetic, stable, low toxicity, low cost agents that may provide protection from immune reaction-related oxidative cell damage associated with many illnesses. In particular, oxidative cell damage has been associated with many viral infections including influenza. This invention demonstrates that treating mice with salen-manganese...
