2-arylbenzothiophene derivatives or pharceutically acceptable salts thereof, preparation method thereof, and pharceutical composition for the diagnosis or treatment of degenerative brain disease containing the same as active ingredient

2-arylbenzothiophene derivatives or pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof, a preparation method thereof, and a pharmaceutical composition for the diagnosis or treatment of degenerative brain disease containing the same as an active ingredient. Since the 2-arylbenzothiophene derivatives of Formula 1 have a relatively high binding affinity for β-amyloid, they can be used as diagnostic reagents for diagnosing Alzheimer's disease at an early stage by non-invasive techniques when they are labeled with radioisotopes:wherein R1-R4, V, W, X, Y and Z are as defined in the Detailed Descript of the specification. Further, when the pharmaceutical composition containing the 2-arylbenzothiophene derivative binds with a low-molecular weight β-amyloid peptide binding compound, generation of malignant high-molecular weight β-amyloid deposits is minimized. Accordingly, the pharmaceutical composition can be used as a therapeutic agent of degenerative brain disease such as Alzheimer's disease.

Pharmaceutical delivery system for vitamin C and vitamin E and use of a combination of vitamin C and E for preventing or treating conditions involving oxidative stress

A pharmaceutical delivery system comprising a slow-release formulation of vitamin C (ascorbic acid) and a plain-release formulation of vitamin E (tocopherol) has been found to raise and maintain the concentrations of these vitamins in the blood plasma to a ratio of approximately 2.2:1. The steady-state concentration and ratio of these antioxidants has been found to be critical in the prevention and treatment of oxidative stress related disorders such as arteriosclerosis and diabetes and neural degenerative disorders such as Alzheimer's Disease.

Treatment of CNS tumors with metalloprotease inhibitors

The present invention relates to genes and their encoded proteins which regulate neurite growth and the diagnostic and therapeutic use of such proteins (termed herein neurite growth regulatory factors). The proteins of the present invention include central nervous system myelin associated proteins and metalloproteases associated with glioblastoma cells and other malignant tumors which can metastasize to the brain. The metalloproteases of the invention have value in the treatment of nerve damage and of degenerative disorders of the nervous system. The present invention is also directed to inhibitors of the metalloproteases. Such inhibitors in combination with the CNS myelin associated inhibitory proteins can be used in the treatment of malignant tumors.

Application of gastrodin to preparing medicaments for preventing and treating Alzheimer's disease

The invention discloses an application of gastrodin to preparing medicaments for preventing and treating Alzheimer's disease. Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a neurodegenerative disease, and pathological characteristics comprise neuro fibrillary tangles formed in cells, hyperplasia of reactive microglia and glial cell, and the like, wherein the extracellular deposition of amyloid A beta is the main pathogenetic reason of AD. An AD small mouse taking a gastrodin-containing fodder is substantially improved in spatial-memory learning ability, substantially reduced in A beta level in brain and serum, and substantially reduced in amyloid plaques and microglia in brain tissue, and thus it is indicated that gastrodin is capable of preventing A beta deposition and decreasing active components causing AD mouse brain gastrodin.
