Novel 3-(N-piperidinyl)methyl benzamide derivatives are disclosed. The compounds can be used in treating diseases and conditions which are associated with abnormal cell function related to endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress. For example, the compounds can be used as suppressors of ER stress-induced pancreatic β-cell dysfunction and death, for example in the treatment of diabetes.

An assay for Alzheimer's disease pathology (AD) in a living patient is disclosed wherein an amount of α7nAChR or TLR4 in a FLNA-captured protein complex or α7nAChR in an Aβ-captured protein complex or α7nAChR-FLNA, TLR4-FLNA and/or α7nAChR-Aβ.sub.42 complex present as a protein-protein complex in a sample is determined and compared to the amount in a standard sample from a person free of AD pathology. An amount greater than in the standard sample indicates AD pathology. Also disclosed is an assay predictive of prognosis for treatment with a medicament in which the amount of an above protein or protein complex is determined and compared to an amount determined in the presence of a medicament that binds to a FLNA pentapeptide and contains at least four of the six pharmacophores of FIGS. 7-12. An amount of protein or protein complex determined in the presence of the medicament less than the first determined amount indicates a favorable treatment prognosis.

The present invention pertains to a novel compound having anticancer activity, and a method for producing same, and more specifically, to a novel compound that exhibits excellent anticancer activity by inhibiting the expression of AIMP2-DX2, and a method for producing same. The compound represented by chemical formula 1 according to the present invention is highly effective in inhibiting the expression of AIMP2-DX2, and thus can be very advantageously used for the development of agents for treating various diseases, in particular cancer, caused by AIMP2-DX2.
