Phantasmidine, a Nicotinic Receptor Agonist for the Treatment of Addiction and Neurological Disorders
The inventors have isolated and characterized an alkaloid, phantasmidine, from the skin of the Ecuadoran poison frog E. anthonyi. Phantasmidine is selective for beta4-containing receptor subtypes, unlike many nicotinic receptor agonists currently in development, which target beta2-containing receptor subtypes. This selectivity makes phantasmidine...

Novel Roles of a DNA Repair Protein, DNA-PKcs, in Obesity, Neurological Function, and Aging
The catalytic subunit of the DNA-dependent protein kinase complex (DNA-PKcs) has been shown to be important in DNA repair and VDJ recombination in lymphocytes. The inventors have discovered that DNA-PKcs also plays novel, important roles in energy regulation and neurological function. The inventors observed that mature DNA-PKcs-deficient mice (also...

Novel dopamine D2 receptor ligands for Parkinson’s disease & schizophrenia
Dopamine is a catecholamine neurotransmitter that mediates physiological functions in the central and peripheral nervous systems. Binding of dopamine to the dopamine D2 receptor elicits intracellular signaling implicated in various neurological disorders such as Parkinson’s disease (PD) and schizophrenia. Drugs targeting the dopamine D2 receptor...

Potent Compounds for the Treatment of Canavan Disease & Cancers
Project ID: D2016-55Invention Description:Elevated levels of N-acetylaspartate (NAA) is a major hallmark of Canavan disease (CD), which currently has no cure or standard course of treatment. Mutations in the aspA gene, which encodes aspartoacylase, render it unable to adequately catalyze the synthesis of NAA in CD patients. The Nat8l gene encodes aspartate...
