The present invention relates to novel heterocyclic compounds based on a quinazoline scaffold, which bind effectively to the mitochondrial translocator protein (TSPO), and counteract cell death processes. These compounds can also stimulate neuronal differentiation. The present invention further relates to pharmaceutical compositions including such compounds, and methods of using these compounds for the prevention and treatment of brain damage resulting from brain injury, especially secondary brain damage due to traumatic brain injury (TBI). The compounds of the invention are also useful in preventing, treating, and curing brain damage due to neurodegenerative diseases, including underlying and associated pathological and mental disorders. The compounds can also be used to prevent and treat brain damage due to infection, toxic challenges, and excessive drug use, e.g., recreational, over the counter, or prescription drugs. These compounds can also prevent heart failure, for example associated with brain injuries and brain diseases.
本发明涉及基于
喹唑啉支架的新型
杂环化合物,它们能有效地与线粒体转运蛋白(T
SPO)结合,抵消
细胞死亡过程。这些化合物还能刺激神经元分化。本发明进一步涉及包括此类化合物的药物组合物,以及使用这些化合物预防和治疗脑损伤导致的脑损伤,特别是创伤性脑损伤(TBI)导致的继发性脑损伤的方法。本发明的化合物还可用于预防、治疗和治愈神经退行性疾病导致的脑损伤,包括潜在的和相关的病理和精神障碍。这些化合物还可用于预防和治疗因感染、毒性挑战和过度使用药物(如娱乐性药物、非处方药或处方药)造成的脑损伤。这些化合物还可以预防心力衰竭,例如与脑损伤和脑疾病相关的心力衰竭。
