Compositions and methods are provided for the treatment or prophylaxis of amyloid pathologies such as Alzheimer's Disease.

The present disclosure relates to Machado-Joseph disease (MJD), or spinocerebellar ataxia type 3 (SCA3), an autosomal dominantly inherited neurodegenerative disorder that is caused by an over-repetition of the polyglutamine-codifying region in the ataxin-3 (ATX7V3) gene. Expanded ATXN3 is prone to aggregate and disturbs diverse cellular systems, ultimately leading to cell dysfunction and death in specific neuronal populations. To date, no treatment able to reverse or stall MJD / SCA3 progression has been developed. Strategies based on the suppression of the deleterious gene products have demonstrated promising results in pre-clinical studies. Nonetheless, these strategies do not target the root cause of the disease, producing an incomplete and / or transient therapeutic effect in target cells or tissues. Recently, gene-based therapeutics, including the bacterial clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeat (CRISPR) systems for gene edition, have been successfully used to permanently inactivate and correct disease-related genes, holding promise for the development of a definitive cure for inherited diseases.

A pathway modulator, a pharmaceutical composition having same, use thereof, and a therapeutic method using same. The pathway modulator (comprising one or more of a dopamine β-hydroxylase inhibitor, a receptor agonist and a receptor antagonist) can inhibit development of autoimmune diseases by immunoregulation, thereby providing potential therapeutic drugs for the treatment of autoimmune diseases.

This disclosure relates to methods of treating, e.g., complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS) using dual N-type and L-type calcium channel blockers selective for the N-type calcium channel (e.g., cilnidipine).
