Development of Novel N-hydroxypyridone Derivatives as Potential Anti-Ischemic Stroke Agents
摘要:
Our previous study had identified ciclopirox (CPX) as a promising lead compound for treatment of ischemic stroke. To find better neuroprotective agents, a series of N-hydroxypyridone derivatives based on CPX were designed, synthesized, and evaluated in this study. Among these derivatives, compound 11 exhibits significant neuroprotection against oxygen glucose deprivation and oxidative stress -induced injuries in neuronal cells. Moreover, compound 11 possesses good blood-brain barrier permeability and superior antioxidant capability. In addition, a complex of compound 11 with olamine-11.01a possesses good water solubility, negligible hERG inhibition, and superior metabolic stability. The in vivo experiment demonstrates that 11.01a significantly reduces brain infarction and alleviates neurological deficits in middle cerebral artery occlusion rats. Hence, compound 11.01a is identified in our research as a prospective prototype in the innovation of stroke treatment.
The present invention is a method of treating rosacea and a method of preventing recurrences of rosacea manifestations by applying a composition comprising one or more 1-hydroxy-2-pyridones in a dermatologically acceptable carrier.
