Treatment of disorders associated with tau protein aggregates
A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11684625B2) discloses a compound of formula (I) and its use in various methods related to decreasing Tau aggregation and preventing the formation of Tau aggregates. Tau aggregation is a process associated with neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's disease.
The patent claims cover a compound of formula (I) and its use in pharmaceutical compositions. The compound can be administered to a subject in need to decrease Tau aggregation, prevent the formation of Tau aggregates, or interfere intracellularly with Tau aggregates. These methods involve administering an effective amount of the compound to achieve the desired therapeutic effect.
Additionally, the patent claims cover mixtures comprising the compound of formula (I) and at least one further biologically active compound. The further biologically active compound can be a therapeutic agent used in the treatment of amyloidosis or a variety of other compounds with different mechanisms of action. The mixture may also include a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier, diluent, or excipient. The compound and/or the further biologically active compound should be present in a therapeutically effective amount.
The patent provides a valuable contribution to the field of neurodegenerative disease research by disclosing a compound and its use in various methods related to Tau aggregation. The compound and its mixtures with other biologically active compounds have the potential to be developed into pharmaceutical compositions for the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases associated with Tau aggregation, such as Alzheimer's disease. Further research and development based on this patent may lead to the discovery of new therapeutic options for patients in need.
