The present invention pertains generally to the field of therapeutic compounds, and more specifically to certain bicycloheteroaryl-heteroaryl-benzoic acid compounds of the following formula (for convenience, collectively referred to herein as “BHBA compounds”), which, inter alia, are (selective) retinoic acid receptor beta (RARβ) (e.g., RARβ2) agonists. The present invention also pertains to pharmaceutical compositions comprising such compounds, and the use of such compounds and compositions, both in vitro and in vivo, to (selectively) activate RARβ (e.g., RARPβ2), to cause or promote neurite development, neurite outgrowth, and/or neurite regeneration, and in the treatment of diseases and conditions that are mediated by RARβ (e.g., RARβ2), that are ameliorated by the activation of RARβ (e.g., RARβ2), etc., including, e.g., neurological injuries such as spinal cord injuries.
本发明一般涉及治疗化合物领域,更具体地说,涉及下式的某些双环杂芳基-杂芳基苯甲酸化合物(为方便起见,本文统称为 "BHBA化合物"),它们是(选择性)视黄酸受体β(RARβ)(如RARβ2)激动剂。本发明还涉及包含此类化合物的药物组合物,以及在体外和体内使用此类化合物和组合物来(选择性地)激活 RARβ(如 RARPβ2)、RARPβ2),引起或促进神经元发育、神经元生长和/或神经元再生,以及治疗由 RARβ(如 RARβ2)介导的、通过激活 RARβ(如 RARβ2)而改善的疾病和病症等,包括神经损伤,如脊髓损伤。
