The compounds of the invention are inhibitors of excitatory amino acid transporters (EAAT) that penetrate the blood-brain barrier to access the central nervous system. The compounds of the invention follow the structural formula:
or a salt, ester or prodrug thereof, wherein X is a halogen, such as fluorine, or a radionuclide, such as fluorine-18. The compounds and methods described herein can be used for the treatment of, e.g., neurodegenerative disorders (e.g., amyotrophic lateral sclerosis), ischemia, spinal cord injury, and traumatic brain injury in a patient (e.g., a human). The invention further provides compounds and methods for the synthesis and use of radiographic tracers to diagnose and follow the progression of such disorders.
本发明的化合物是兴奋性氨基酸转运体(EAAT)的抑制剂,能够穿过血脑屏障进入中枢神经系统。本发明的化合物遵循以下结构式:或其盐、酯或前药,其中X是卤素,如氟,或放射性核素,如氟-18。本发明所描述的化合物和方法可用于治疗神经退行性疾病(例如肌萎缩性侧索硬化症)、缺血、脊髓损伤和创伤性脑损伤等患者(例如人类)。本发明还提供了化合物和方法,用于合成和使用放射性示踪剂诊断和跟踪这些疾病的进展。
