A method for detecting cancer in a patient. The method comprises the steps of introducing labeled antibodies or labeled AFP to a biological sample of the patient so the labeled antibodies or labeled AFP will react with the AFP receptor binding sites in the biological sample. Next there is the step of identifying AFP receptor binding sites in the biological material which are reacted with the labeled antibodies or labeled AFP to determine the presence of cancer. Preferably, before the introducing step, there is the step of obtaining a biological sample from a body of a patient. A method for treating cancer cells in a patient. The method comprises the steps of introducing AFP receptor antibodies to cancer cells in the patient. Then there is the step of reacting the AFP receptor antibodies with the AFP receptor of the cancer cells to inhibit growth of the cancer cells or kill the cancer cells. A method for monitoring a patient. The method comprises the steps of treating the patient for cancer. Then there is the step of testing the patient at predetermined intervals after the treatment for AFP receptor site levels. A method for treating a patient. The method comprises the steps of testing the patient for AFP receptor. Then there is the step of introducing AFP receptor antibodies or AFP into the patient to react with cancer cells in the patient if the testing indicates AFP receptors are in the patient. A method for treating cancer cells in a patient. The method comprises the steps of introducing modified AFP to cancer cells in the patient. Then there is the step of reacting the modified AFP with the AFP receptor of the cancer cells to inhibit growth of the cancer cells or kill the cancer cells.

This class of compounds shows high affinity and selectivity for GABA A α5 receptor binding sites and might be useful as a cognitive enhancer or for the treatment of cognitive disorders like Alzheimer's disease.

The present invention is concerned with aryl-4-ethynyl-isoxazole derivatives of formula Iwherein R1 to R5 are as described in the specification and pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof. This class of compounds has high affinity and selectivity for GABA A α5 receptor binding sites, being useful as a cognitive enhancer or for the treatment of cognitive disorders like Alzheimer's disease.

A screening method directed towards; (1) specifying a receptor binding site by introduction of mutation, and (2) specifying a binding site-specific peptide motif on the basis of an amino acid selection ratio by contrast between a peptide motif bound to a wild-type subunit and a peptide motif bound to a mutant functionally deficient in the binding site according to a peptide library method. A peptide which inhibits a toxin whose receptor binding portion has a subunit structure is screened. Accordingly, an STX2 inhibitor in which an STX2 inhibiting peptide is incorporated in a molecular nuclear structure portion having three molecules of lysine (Lys) peptide-linked thereto and which is easy to synthesize and can inhibit verotoxin is provided.

The present invention is concerned with aryl-isoxazol-4-yl-imidazo[1,2-a]pyridine derivatives of formula I:whereinR1 to R5 are as defined in the specification and pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salts thereof. This class of compounds has high affinity and selectivity for GABA A α5 receptor binding sites and might be useful as cognitive enhancer or for the treatment of cognitive disorders like Alzheimer's disease.
