Compounds and methods for stimulating neurogenesis (e.g., post-natal neurogenesis, including post-natal hippocampal and hypothalamic neurogenesis) and/or protecting neuronal cell from cell death are disclosed herein. In vivo activity tests suggest that these compounds may have therapeutic benefits in neuropsychiatric and/or neurodegenerative diseases such as schizophrenia, major depression, bipolar disorder, normal aging, epilepsy, traumatic brain injury, post-traumatic stress disorder, Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer's disease, Down syndrome, spinocerebellar ataxia, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, Huntington's disease, stroke, radiation therapy, chronic stress, abuse of a neuro-active drug, retinal degeneration, spinal cord injury, peripheral nerve injury, physiological weight loss associated with various conditions, as well as cognitive decline associated with normal aging, chemotherapy, and the like.
本发明公开了刺激神经发生(例如,产后神经发生,包括产后海马和下丘脑神经发生)和/或保护神经细胞免于细胞死亡的化合物和方法。体内活性测试表明,这些化合物可能在精神神经疾病和/或神经退行性疾病中具有治疗益处,例如精神分裂症、重度抑郁症、双相情感障碍、正常衰老、癫痫、创伤性脑损伤、创伤后应激障碍、帕金森病、阿尔茨海默病、唐氏综合症、脊髓小脑共济失调、肌萎缩侧索硬化症、亨廷顿病、中风、放射治疗、慢性压力、滥用神经活性药物、视网膜退化、脊髓损伤、周围神经损伤、与各种情况相关的生理体重减轻,以及与正常衰老、化疗等相关的认知衰退。
