The present invention pertains generally to the field of therapeutic compounds, and more specifically to certain aryl-amido-aryl compounds of the following formula (for convenience, collectively referred to herein as “AAA compounds”), which, inter alia, are (selective) retinoic acid receptor α (RARα) agonists. The present invention also pertains to pharmaceutical compositions comprising such compounds, and the use of such compounds and compositions, both in vitro and in vivo, to (selectively) activate RARα, and in the treatment of diseases and conditions that are mediated by RARα, that are ameliorated by the activation of RARα, etc., including cognitive disorders, memory impairment, memory deficit, senile dementia, Alzheimer's disease, early stage Alzheimer's disease, intermediate stage Alzheimer's disease, late stage Alzheimer's disease, cognitive impairment, and mild cognitive impairment.
本发明涉及治疗化合物领域,更具体地涉及以下公式的某些芳基酰胺-芳基化合物(为方便起见,以下统称为“AAA化合物”),其为(选择性)视黄酸受体α(RARα)激动剂。本发明还涉及包含这些化合物的药物组合物,以及利用这些化合物和组合物在体外和体内(选择性地)激活RARα,并用于治疗由RARα介导的疾病和症状,以及通过激活RARα改善的疾病和症状,包括认知障碍、记忆障碍、记忆缺陷、老年性痴呆、阿尔茨海默病、早期阿尔茨海默病、中期阿尔茨海默病、晚期阿尔茨海默病、认知损害和轻度认知损害。
