A recently filed patent (Publication Number: US20240016810A1) discloses methods for treating neurological disorders in human patients by administering a PIKfyve inhibitor. The first claim involves treating a neurological disorder in a patient who does not express a mutant form of c9orf72 with an expanded GGGGCC hexanucleotide repeat. The second claim focuses on treating a neurological disorder in a patient susceptible to developing TAR-DNA binding protein (TDP)-43 aggregation by administering a PIKfyve inhibitor. Additionally, the patent covers various neuromuscular disorders and other neurological conditions such as frontotemporal degeneration, Alzheimer's disease, and Parkinson's disease.

The patent further details specific compounds represented by formulas (I) to (XI) that can be used as PIKfyve inhibitors for treating neurological disorders. These compounds are small molecules that bind to and/or inhibit PIKfyve enzymatic activity. The disclosed methods offer potential treatment options for a wide range of neurological disorders, including amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, Duchenne muscular dystrophy, Parkinson's disease, and Huntington's disease. By targeting specific molecular pathways associated with these conditions, the use of PIKfyve inhibitors presents a novel approach to managing and potentially improving outcomes for patients with neurological disorders.
