The present invention provides a class of chemical compounds useful in the treatment of sickle cell disease, diseases characterized by unwanted or abnormal cell proliferation and for the treatment of ocular disorders such as glaucoma. The active compounds are tri-(aryl or heteroaryl) methane compounds or analogues thereof which further comprise an imine moiety and where the tertiary carbon atom can be replaced with a different atom such as Si, Ge, N or P. The compounds enhance resistance to degradation in a biological medium, inhibit potassium flux in a cell, reduce mammalian cell proliferation, reduce the Gardos channel of erythrocytes, reduce sickle erythrocyte dehydration and/or delay the occurrence of erythrocyte sickling or deformation.
本发明提供了一类化合物,可用于治疗镰状细胞病、以异常或不良细胞增殖为特征的疾病,以及治疗眼部疾病,如青光眼。这些活性化合物是三(芳基或杂环芳基)甲烷化合物或其类似物,进一步包括亚胺基团,其中三级碳原子可被硅、锗、氮或磷等不同原子取代。这些化合物增强了在生物介质中的抗降解性,抑制细胞内的钾离子通量,减少哺乳动物细胞的增殖,减少红细胞的Gardos通道,减少镰状红细胞的脱水,并/或延迟红细胞的镰刀化或变形的发生。
