Multifunctional compounds are provided, comprising two or more functional moieties selected from: (i) a moiety that imparts an iron chelator function; (ii) a moiety that imparts a neuroprotective function; (iii) a moiety that imparts combined antiapoptotic, neuroprotective and/or neurorestorative functions; (iv) a moiety that imparts brain MAO inhibition, preferably with little or no MAO inhibition in liver and small intestine; (v) a moiety that imparts cholinesterase inhibitory function; and (vi) a moiety that imparts an N-methyl-D-aspartic acid receptor (NMDAR) inhibition, and pharmaceutically acceptable salts and optical isomers thereof. The multifunctional compounds are useful in the treatment or prevention of diseases, disorders or conditions that can be prevented and/or treated by iron chelation therapy, and/or neuroprotection and/or neurorestoration, and/or apoptosis inhibition and/or MAO inhibition and/or cholinesterase inhibition and/or NMADR inhibition. The present invention encompasses compounds of the formulas I to VI.
提供了多功能化合物,包括从以下选择的两个或多个官能团:(i)赋予铁螯合剂功能的官能团;(ii)赋予神经保护功能的官能团;(iii)赋予联合抗凋亡、神经保护和/或神经修复功能的官能团;(iv)赋予大脑MAO抑制作用的官能团,优选在肝脏和小肠中几乎没有或没有MAO抑制作用;(v)赋予胆碱酯酶抑制作用的官能团;(vi)赋予N-甲基-D-天门冬氨酸受体(NMDAR)抑制作用的官能团,以及其药学上可接受的盐和光学异构体。这些多功能化合物在预防和/或治疗可以通过铁螯合疗法、神经保护和/或神经修复、凋亡抑制和/或MAO抑制和/或胆碱酯酶抑制和/或NMDAR抑制来预防和/或治疗的疾病、疾病或状况中是有用的。本发明涵盖了公式I至VI的化合物。
