The present invention pertains generally to the field of therapeutic compounds, and more specifically to certain aryl-amido-aryl compounds of the following formula (for convenience, collectively referred to herein as “AAA compounds”), which, inter alia, are (selective) retinoic acid receptor α (RARα) agonists. The present invention also pertains to pharmaceutical compositions comprising such compounds, and the use of such compounds and compositions, both in vitro and in vivo, to (selectively) activate RARα, and in the treatment of diseases and conditions that are mediated by RARα, that are ameliorated by the activation of RARα, etc., including cognitive disorders, memory impairment, memory deficit, senile dementia, Alzheimer's disease, early stage Alzheimer's disease, intermediate stage Alzheimer's disease, late stage Alzheimer's disease, cognitive impairment, and mild cognitive impairment.
本发明涉及治疗化合物领域,更具体地涉及以下式子的某些芳基酰胺芳基化合物(方便起见,统称为“AAA化合物”),这些化合物是(选择性)视黄酸受体α(RARα)激动剂。本发明还涉及包含这些化合物的制药组合物,以及这些化合物和组合物的使用,无论是在体外还是体内,来(选择性)激活RARα,并用于治疗由RARα介导的疾病和病况,这些疾病和病况通过激活RARα得到改善,等等,包括认知障碍,记忆障碍,记忆缺陷,老年性痴呆症,早期老年性痴呆症,中期老年性痴呆症,晚期老年性痴呆症,认知障碍和轻度认知障碍。
