This invention describes the novel use of alkyl, alkoxyl, halogenyl, or hydroxy substituted dicinnamoylquinides as therapeutic agents for enhancing adenosine levels in the brain and peripheral organs. These agents are particularly useful in treating human diseases or conditions that benefit from acute or chronic elevated levels of adenosine, such as reperfusion injury, coronary or cerebral ischemia, coronary vasoconstriction, paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia, hypertension, wound healing, diabetes, inflammation, or sleep disturbances. They can also be used to protect normal cells from chemotoxicity in patients undergoing cancer therapy, and reverse the behavioral effects of caffeine intake.
本发明描述了烷基、烷氧基、卤基或羟基取代的
二肉桂酰奎宁酸作为治疗剂的新用途,可提高大脑和外周器官中的
腺苷水平。这些制剂特别适用于治疗因急性或慢性
腺苷水平升高而获益的人类疾病或病症,如再灌注损伤、冠状动脉或脑缺血、冠状动脉血管收缩、阵发性室上性心动过速、高血压、伤口愈合、糖尿病、炎症或睡眠障碍。它们还可用于保护接受癌症治疗的患者的正常细胞免受
化学毒性的影响,以及逆转摄入
咖啡因对行为的影响。
