Methods for treating cognitive/attention deficit disorders in general using tetrahydroindolone derivatives and analogues, particularly tetrahydroindolone derivatives or analogues in which the tetrahydroindolone derivative or analogue is covalently linked to another moiety to form a bifunctional conjugate are disclosed. More specifically, methods and compositions for treating attention deficit disorder and attention deficit hyperactivity disorders in adults and children as well as mild cognitive impairment and dementia are provided. The compounds used to treat and/or palliate cognitive/attention deficit disorders in general include a tetrahydroindolone derivative or analogue comprises a 9-atom bicyclic moiety, moiety A, linked through a linker L to a moiety B, where B is a carboxylic acid, a carboxylic acid ester, or a moiety of the structure N(Y

)-D, where Y

can be one of a variety of substituents, including hydrogen or alkyl, and D is a moiety that enhances the pharmacological effects, promotes absorption or blood-brain barrier penetration of the derivative or analogue. The moiety A has a six-membered ring fused to a five-membered ring. The moiety A can have one, two, or three nitrogen atoms in the five membered ring. The moiety A can be a tetrahydroindolone moiety. The moiety B can be one of a variety of moieties, including moieties having nootropic activity or other biological or physiological activity.
一般使用四氢吲哚酮衍生物和类似物治疗认知/注意力缺陷障碍的方法,特别是揭示了将四氢吲哚酮衍生物或类似物与另一物质共价连接以形成双功能共轭物的方法。更具体地,提供了用于治疗成人和儿童的注意力缺陷障碍和注意力缺陷多动障碍以及轻度认知障碍和痴呆症的方法和组合物。一般用于治疗和/或缓解认知/注意力缺陷障碍的化合物包括一个四氢吲哚酮衍生物或类似物,其包括一个9原子的双环物质A,通过连接物L连接到一个物质B,其中B是一个羧酸,一个羧酸酯,或者结构N(Y1)-D的物质,其中Y1可以是各种取代基之一,包括氢或烷基,D是增强药理效应、促进衍生物或类似物吸收或血脑屏障穿透的物质。物质A具有与一个五元环融合的六元环。物质A的五元环中可以有一个、两个或三个氮原子。物质A可以是四氢吲哚酮物质。物质B可以是各种物质之一,包括具有智力活性或其他生物或生理活性的物质。
