The invention discloses methods and compositions useful for facilitating neuronal regeneration and functional recovery in neurodegenerative diseases. The methods and compositions utilize ligands for the sigma receptors. These molecules can be delivered alone or in combination with agents which treat or prevent neurodegenerative diseases such as those caused by ischemic stroke, diabetic peripheral neuropathy, cancer therapy induced neuropathy, multiple sclerosis, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, traumatic brain injury, spinal cord injury, Huntington's disease or Parkinson's disease. In other methods, the sigma receptor ligands are administered after stroke to facilitate functional recovery. The administration of the sigma receptor ligands effects faster functional recovery.
本发明公开了促进神经元再生和神经退行性疾病功能恢复的方法和组合物。这些方法和组合物利用西格玛受体的配体。这些分子可以单独给药,也可以与治疗或预防神经退行性疾病的药物结合使用,如缺血性中风、糖尿病周围神经病变、癌症治疗诱发的神经病变、多发性硬化症、肌萎缩性脊髓侧索硬化症、脑外伤、脊髓损伤、亨廷顿氏病或帕金森氏病等引起的神经退行性疾病。在其他方法中,σ受体配体在中风后给药,以促进功能恢复。施用σ受体配体可加快功能恢复。
