Society for Neuroscience - 39th Annual Meeting. Part 2 - Novel therapies for neurodegenerative disorders and other CNS diseases
Abstract
The 39th Annual Meeting of the Society for Neuroscience (SFN), held in Chicago, included topics covering new therapeutic developments in the field of neuroscience. This conference report highlights selected presentations on novel neuroprotective and antiparkinsonian agents, and compounds in development for the treatment of dementia, schizophrenia, depression, obesity and spinal muscular atrophy. Investigational drugs discussed include velusetrag and TD-8954 (both from Theravance Inc), SEP-228791 and SEP-226330 (both from Sepracor Inc), ADL-5510 (Adolor Corp), PF-217830 (Pfizer Inc), KB-099520 (Karo Bio AB), tesofensine (NeuroSearch A/S) and TRP6-01 (Theraptosis).
