The present invention provides novel tetrahydrocarbazole derivatives according to formula (I) as ligands of G-protein coupled receptors (GPCR). The compounds of the invention are useful in the treatment and/or prophylaxis of physiological and/or pathological conditions in mammals, preferably humans, which are mediated by GPCR or of physiological and/or pathological conditions which can be treated by modulation of these receptors. The present invention further provides LHRH receptor antagonists that can be used for the modulation of these receptors and are useful for treating above conditions, in particular prostate cancer, breast cancer, uterine cancer, endometrial cancer, cervical cancer, ovarian cancer, benign prostate hyperplasia (BPH), endometriosis, uterine fibroids, uterine myomas, endometrium hyperplasia, dysmenorrhoea, dysfunctional uterine bleeding (menorrhagia, metrorrhagia), pubertas praecox, hirsutism, polycystic ovary syndrome, hormone-dependent tumor diseases, HIV infections or AIDS, neurological or neurodegenerative disorders, ARC (AIDS related complex), Kaposi sarcoma, tumors originating from the brain and/or nervous system and/or meninges, dementia, Alzheimer's disease, nausea and vomiting, pain, inflammations, rheumatic and arthritic pathological states.
本发明提供了公式(I)的新型四氢咔唑衍生物,作为G蛋白偶联受体(GPCR)的配体。本发明的化合物可用于治疗和/或预防哺乳动物,尤其是人类的生理和/或病理状况,这些状况是由GPCR介导的或可以通过调节这些受体来治疗的生理和/或病理状况。本发明还提供了LHRH受体拮抗剂,可用于调节这些受体,对于治疗上述疾病,特别是前列腺癌、乳腺癌、子宫癌、子宫内膜癌、宫颈癌、卵巢癌、良性前列腺增生(BPH)、子宫内膜异位症、子宫肌瘤、子宫内膜增生、痛经、功能性子宫出血(月经过多、子宫出血)、早发性青春期、多毛症、多囊卵巢综合征、激素依赖性肿瘤疾病、HIV感染或艾滋病、神经或神经退行性疾病、ARC(艾滋病相关综合征)、卡波西肉瘤、起源于大脑和/或神经系统和/或脑膜的肿瘤、痴呆症、阿尔茨海默病、恶心和呕吐、疼痛、炎症、风湿和关节病理状态都很有用。
