New drugs development

Isoindoline derivatives such as AMPK activators

The present invention relates to the development of novel isoindoline derivatives as activators of AMPK (Adenosine MonoPhosphate-activated protein Kinase), a key enzyme in cellular metabolism. The compounds, with original chemical structure, can be usefully employed for the prevention and treatment of metabolic disorders, such as type II diabetes and obesity, as well as immune-mediated inflammatory diseases and cancer.

Compounds for use in the therapeutic and preventive treatment of neurodegenerative diseases, particularly Alzheimer’s disease

The object of the present invention is the design, synthesis, and pharmacological evaluation of novel diphenylmethane core molecules, capable of simultaneously promoting activation of the autophagy process and lipid catabolism, both in vitro and in vivo. Their dual activity may represent a novel approach for the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer.
