A method of treating a human patient afflicted with Huntington's disease, comprising periodically orally administering to the patient a pharmaceutical composition comprising pridopidine, its analog or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof.

Pridopidine for treating Huntington's disease

This invention provides a method of improving cognitive function in a subject comprising periodically administering to the subject an amount of pridopidine or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof effective to improve a cognitive function in the subject. The invention also provides a method of treating a subject afflicted with Alzheimer's disease, comprising periodically administering to the subject a pharmaceutical composition comprising an amount of pridopidine or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof effective to treat the subject.

Use of pridopidine to improve cognitive function and for treating Alzheimer's disease

Pridopidine for treating huntington's disease

A method of treating a human patient afflicted with Huntington's disease, comprising periodically orally administering to the patient a pharmaceutical composition comprising pridopidine or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof such that greater than 90 mg of pridopidine is administered to the patient per day.

Use of pridopidine for treating Huntington's disease

The invention relates to methods for reducing a condition associated with fetal alcohol syndrome in a subject who is exposed to alcohol in utero with an ADNF polypeptide (e.g, ADNF I polypeptides, ADNF III polypeptides, or mixtures of ADNF I and ADNF III polypeptides). In one embodiment, the present invention relates to methods for reducing a condition associated with fetal alcohol syndrome in a subject who is exposed to alcohol in utero with a mixture of ADNF I and ADNF III polypeptides. The present invention further relates to methods for reducing neuronal cell death by contacting neuronal cells with a mixture of ADNF I and ADNF III polypeptides. Still further, the present invention relates to a pharmaceutical composition comprising a mixture of ADNF I and ADNF III polypeptides.

Prevention of fetal alcohol syndrome and neuronal cell death with ADNF polypeptides

The present invention relates generally to Activity Dependent Neurotrophic Factor III (ADNF III), also known as Activity Dependent Neuroprotective Protein (ADNP). More particularly, the present invention relates to nucleic acid sequences encoding ADNF III polypeptides; ADNF III polypeptides encoded by such nucleic acid sequences; antibodies to ADNF III polypeptides; and methods of using such ADNF III polypeptides for the treatment of neurological deficiencies and for the prevention of cell death associated with (1) gp120, the envelope protein from HIV; (2) N-methyl-D-aspartic acid (excito-toxicity); (3) tetrodotoxin (blockage of electrical activity); and (4) &#x3b2;-amyloid peptide, a substance related to neuronal degeneration in Alzheimer's disease.

Activity dependent neurotrophic factor III (ADNF III)

This invention relates to a method for reducing a condition associated with fetal alcohol syndrome in a subject who is exposed to alcohol in utero with an ADNF polypeptide. In particular, the present invention relates to a method of reducing a condition associated with fetal alcohol syndrome in a subject who is exposed to alcohol in utero with a combination of ADNF I and ADNF III polypeptides. The present invention further relates to a method for reducing neuronal cell death by contacting neuronal cells with a combination of ADNF I and ADNF III polypeptides. Still further, the present invention relates to a pharmaceutical composition comprising a combination of ADNF I and ADNF III polypeptides.

The present invention provides methods of using antisense ADNF III oligonucleotides to inhibit the growth of pathologically proliferating cells. The invention also provides methods and kits for using ADNF III nucleic acid probes to detect the presence of pathologically proliferating cells in human tissues.

Methods of inhibiting cancer cells with ADNF III antisense oligonucleotides

The present invention relates generally to Activity Dependent Neurotrophic Factor III (ADNF III), also known as Activity Dependent Neuroprotective Protein (ADNP). More particularly, the present invention relates to nucleic acid sequences encoding ADNF III polypeptides; ADNF III polypeptides encoded by such nucleic acid sequences; antibodies to ADNF III polypeptides; and methods of using such ADNF III polypeptides for the treatment of neurological deficiencies and for the prevention of cell death associated with (1) gp120, the envelope protein from HIV; (2) N-methyl- -aspartic acid (excito-toxicity); (3) tetrodotoxin (blockage of electrical activity); and (4) &bgr;-amyloid peptide, a substance related to neuronal degeneration in Alzheimer's disease.
