This technology relates generally to compounds and methods for stimulating neurogenesis (e.g., post-natal neurogenesis, including post-natal hippocampal and hypothalamic neurogenesis) and/or protecting neuronal cell from cell death. Various compounds are disclosed herein. In vivo activity tests suggest that these compounds may have therapeutic benefits in neuropsychiatric and/or neurodegenerative diseases such as schizophrenia, major depression, bipolar disorder, normal aging, epilepsy, traumatic brain injury, post-traumatic stress disorder, Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer's disease, Down syndrome, spinocerebellar ataxia, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, Huntington's disease, stroke, radiation therapy, chronic stress, abuse of a neuro-active drug, retinal degeneration, spinal cord injury, peripheral nerve injury, physiological weight loss associated with various conditions, as well as cognitive decline associated with normal aging, chemotherapy, and the like.
本技术通常涉及化合物和方法,用于刺激神经发生新生(例如,出生后神经发生新生,包括出生后海马和下丘脑神经发生新生)和/或保护神经细胞免受细胞死亡。本文介绍了各种化合物。体内活性测试表明,这些化合物可能在神经精神疾病和/或神经退行性疾病(如精神分裂症、重度抑郁症、躁郁症、正常衰老、癫痫、创伤性脑损伤、创伤后应激障碍、帕金森病、阿尔茨海默病、唐氏综合症、脊髓小脑性共济失调、肌萎缩性侧索硬化症、亨廷顿病、中风、放射治疗、慢性应激、神经活性药物滥用、视网膜退化、脊髓损伤、外周神经损伤、与各种疾病相关的生理性体重下降以及与正常衰老、化疗等相关的认知衰退中具有治疗益处。
