Abstract

The present invention provides compounds and methods of administering compounds to a subject that can reduce βAPP production and that is not toxic in a wide range of dosages. The present invention also provides non-carbamate compounds and methods of administering such compounds to a subject that can reduce βAPP production and that is not toxic in a wide range of dosages. It has been discovered that either the racemic or enantiomerically pure non-carbamate compounds can be used to decrease βAPP production.

       97 . The pharmaceutical composition of  claim 93 , wherein the compound is a salt.  
   
   
       98 . A method of inhibiting production of amyloid precursor protein in a mammalian cell, comprising contacting the cell with a composition comprising a carrier and compound comprising formula VII:  
     
       
         
         
             
             
         
       
       wherein R 5  is an aralkyl and R 8  is a hydrogen, branched or straight chain C 1 -C 8  alkyl, substituted or unsubstituted aryl, or aralkyl,  
       whereby the compound inhibits production of amyloid precursor protein in the cell.  
     
   
   
       99 . The method of  claim 98 , wherein R 5  is benzyl and R 8  is methyl.  
   
   
       100 . The method of  claim 98 , wherein R 5  is benzyl and R 8  is hydrogen.  
   
   
       101 . The method of  claim 98 , wherein the cell is in vivo.  
   
   
       102 . The method of  claim 98 , wherein the cell is a human cell.  
   
   
       103 . The method of  claim 98 , wherein the composition is in an oral dosage unit.  
   
   
       104 . The method of  claim 98 , wherein the compound inhibits the production of amyloid precursor protein and Aβ 1-40  or Aβ 1-42 .  
   
   
       105 . The method of  claim 98 , wherein the compound is a salt.  
   
   
       106 . The method of  claim 105 , wherein the salt is a tartrate salt.  
   
   
       107 . A method of inhibiting production of amyloid precursor protein in a mammalian cell, comprising contacting the cell with a compound comprising formula V or VI:  
     
       
         
         
             
             
         
       
       wherein R 8  is hydrogen, branched or straight chain C 1 -C 8  alkyl, substituted or unsubstituted aryl, aralkyl, or CR 9 R 10 OR 11 , where R 9  and R 10  are, independently, hydrogen or alkyl, and R 11  is alkyl;
