The present invention features inhibitors of nitric oxide synthase (NOS), particularly those that selectively inhibit neuronal nitric oxide synthase (nNOS) in preference to other NOS isoforms. The NOS inhibitors of the invention, alone or in combination with other pharmaceutically active agents, can be used for treating or preventing conditions such as, for example, stroke, reperfusion injury, neurodegeneration, head trauma, CABG, migraine headache with and without aura, migraine with allodynia, central post-stroke pain (CPSP), neuropathic pain, or chronic pain.
本发明涉及一种
一氧化氮合酶(N
OS)的
抑制剂,特别是那些选择性地抑制神经
一氧化氮合酶(nN
OS)而不是其他N
OS同工酶。本发明的N
OS抑制剂,单独或与其他药用
活性剂联合使用,可用于治疗或预防诸如中风、再灌注损伤、神经退行性疾病、头部创伤、
冠状动脉搭桥手术(
CABG)、有或无先兆的偏头痛、伴有触痛的偏头痛、中枢性中风后疼痛(
