Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The present invention provides a compound which is an inhibitor of sphingolipid biosynthesis for use in the treatment of a disease which has a secondary Niemann-Pick type C disease like cellular phenotype.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A method of treating a subject having a disease which has a secondary Niemann-Pick type C disease like cellular phenotype, wherein the disease is inborn error of cholesterol synthesis, Tangier disease, Pelizaeus-Merzbacher disease, Mucolipidosis II (cell), or variant late infantile-Neuronal Ceroid Lipofuscinosis, and wherein the method comprises selecting the subject having the disease, and administering to the subject an effective amount of N-butyldeoxynojirimycin; N-nonyldeoxynojirimycin; N-butyldeoxygalactonojirimycin; N-5adamantane-1-yl-methoxypentyl-deoxynojirimycin; alpha-homogalactonojirimycin; nojirimycin; deoxynojirimycin; N7-oxadecyl-deoxynojirimycin; deoxygalactonojirimycin; N-butyl-deoxygalactonojirimycin; N-nonyl-6deoxy-DGJ; alpha-homoallonojirimycin; or beta-1C-butyl-deoxygalactonojirimycin. 2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the disease is Tangier disease. 3. The method of claim 2 , wherein the inhibitor of sphingolipid biosynthesis is N-butyldeoxynojirimycin.
