The present invention relates to the use of selective aquaporin inhibitors, e.g., of aquaporin-4 or aquaporin-2, e.g., certain phenylbenzamide compounds, for the prophylaxis, treatment and control of aquaporin-mediated conditions, e.g., diseases of water imbalance, for example edema (particularly edema of the brain and spinal cord, e.g., following trauma or ischemic stroke, as well as the edema associated with glioma, meningitis, acute mountain sickness, epileptic seizures, infections, metabolic disorders, hypoxia, water intoxication, hepatic failure, hepatic encephalopathy, diabetic ketoacidosis, abscess, eclampsia, Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease, and lupus cerebritis, as well as edema consequent to microgravity and/or radiation exposure, as well as edema consequent to invasive central nervous system procedures, e.g., neurosurgery, endovascular clot removal, spinal tap, aneurysm repair, or deep brain stimulation, as well as retinal edema), as well as hyponatremia and excess fluid retention, and diseases such as epilepsy, retinal ischemia and other diseases of the eye associated with abnormalities in intraocular pressure and/or tissue hydration, myocardial ischemia, myocardial ischemia/reperfusion injury, myocardial infarction, myocardial hypoxia, congestive heart failure, sepsis, and neuromyelitis optica, as well as migraines, as well as to novel assays for identifying aquaporin inhibitors.
本发明涉及选择性水蒸发蛋白抑制剂(如水蒸发蛋白-4 或水蒸发蛋白-2)(如某些苯基苯甲酰胺化合物)在预防、治疗和控制水蒸发蛋白介导的疾病(如水失衡疾病)方面的用途,例如水肿(尤其是脑和脊髓水肿,如创伤或缺血性中风后的水肿,以及与胶质瘤、脑膜炎、急性登山病、癫痫发作、感染、代谢紊乱、低氧、缺血性脑卒中、颅内压增高、颅内压增高相关的水肿)、外伤或缺血性中风后的水肿,以及与胶质瘤、脑膜炎、急性高山病、癫痫发作、感染、代谢紊乱、缺氧、水中毒、肝功能衰竭、肝性脑病有关的水肿、糖尿病酮症酸中毒、脓肿、子痫、克雅氏病和狼疮性脑炎,以及微重力和/或辐射照射引起的水肿,以及侵入性中枢神经系统手术(如:手术)引起的水肿。g.,神经外科手术、血管内血块清除术、脊髓穿刺术、动脉瘤修补术或脑深部刺激术,以及视网膜水肿),以及低钠血症和体液潴留过多,以及癫痫、视网膜缺血等疾病和其他与眼内压和/或组织水合异常有关的眼部疾病、心肌缺血、心肌缺血/再灌注损伤、心肌梗塞、心肌缺氧、充血性心力衰竭、败血症和神经性视网膜炎以及偏头痛等疾病,以及用于鉴定水通道蛋白抑制剂的新型检测方法。
