etoposide-induced apoptosis at concentrations as low as 100 nM. The developed aromaticcarbamates possess physicochemical properties desirable for CNS therapeutics. The primary known mechanisms of action of the parent scaffold are not responsible for the observed neuroprotective activity. Herein, we demonstrate that neuroprotective aromaticcarbamates function to increase the Bcl-2/Bax ratio to an antiapoptotic state
