DUBLIN, Ireland ----Research and
Markets (http://www.com/reports/c1364) has
announced the addition of Neuroprotection - Drugs, Markets and
Companies to their offering
This report describes the role of neuroprotection in acute
disorders such as stroke and injuries of the nervous system as well as
in chronic diseases such as neurodegenerative disorders because many
of the underlying mechanisms of damage to neural tissues are similar
in all these conditions and several products are used in more than one
disorder . Although
anesthetics such as propofol are neuroprotective as well,
neuroprotection during surgery and anesthesia is discussed with the
aim of preventing and treating complications that result in CNS
damage.
The report contains a profile of 109 companies that have a
neuroprotective product or products. Some of the products in
development at academic institutions that do not have a commercial
sponsor are also included. Clinical trials of various neuroprotective agents are described
and failures of trials in stroke and head injury are analyzed with
suggestions for improving the selection of drugs and design of trials.

" This trial was conducted under
Regeneron 's collaboration agreement with the sanofi-aventis Group for
eye diseases through systemic delivery systems, such as intravenous
infusions. The Company plans to submit the
results of these studies for presentation in an abstract at a
cardiovascular conference later this year and for publication in a
peer-reviewed medical journal. Some of these
products are approved for other indications but are known to have a
neuroprotective effect. With the approval of new products and takeover
of markets for obsolete symptomatic therapies, the neuroprotection
market value will rise $11.

During the Annual European Congress of Rheumatology in Vienna from
June 8-11, sponsored by the European League Against Rheumatism
(EULAR), data will be presented on the IL-1 Trap. A more complete
description of these risks can be found in Regeneron's filings with
the United States Securities and Exchange Commission, including its
Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004. Over 300 products have been investigated for neuroprotective
effects including those from the categories of free radical
scavengers, anti-excitotoxic agents, apoptosis (programmed cell death)
inhibitors, anti-inflammatory agents, neurotrophic factors, metal ion
chelators, ion channel modulators and gene therapy. Some of the agents
are old established pharmaceuticals whereas others are new
biotechnology products .
