This invention relates to compounds, pharmaceutical compositions and methods for use in the prevention and treatment of cerebral insufficiency, including enhancement of receptor functioning in synapses in brain networks responsible for basic and higher order behaviors. These brain networks, which are involved in cognitive abilities related to memory impairment, such as is observed in a variety of dementias, in imbalances in neuronal activity between different brain regions, as is suggested in disorders such as Parkinson's disease, schizophrenia, sleep apneas, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder and affective or mood disorders, and in disorders wherein a deficiency in neurotrophic factors is implicated, as well as conditions such as stroke-induced central sleep apnea, obstructive sleep apnea, congenital hypoventilation syndrome, obesity hypoventilation syndrome, sudden infant death syndrome, Rett syndrome, spinal cord injury, traumatic brain injury, Cheney-Stokes respiration, Ondines curse, Prader-Willi's syndrome and drowning. In a particular aspect, the invention relates to bicyclic amide compounds useful for treatment of such conditions, and methods of using these compounds for such treatment.
本发明涉及化合物、药物组合物和用于预防和治疗脑供血不足的方法,包括增强与基本和高级行为相关的脑网络中突触的受体功能。这些脑网络参与与记忆障碍相关的认知能力,如多种痴呆症中观察到的情况,以及在不同脑区域之间神经活动失衡的情况,如帕金森病、精神分裂症、睡眠呼吸暂停、注意力缺陷多动障碍、情感或情绪障碍,以及与神经营养因子缺乏有关的疾病。还包括中风引起的中枢性睡眠呼吸暂停、阻塞性睡眠呼吸暂停、先天性低通气综合征、肥胖性低通气综合征、婴儿猝死综合征、雷特综合征、脊髓损伤、创伤性脑损伤、切尼-斯托克斯呼吸、温迪恩氏综合征、普拉德-威利综合征和溺水等病症。特别是,本发明涉及用于治疗这些病症的双环酰胺化合物,以及使用这些化合物进行治疗的方法。
