The present disclosure is directed to compositions and methods which utilize the tetracycline scaffold, preferably the scaffold of tetracycline or minocycline, and which significantly lack antibiotic activity. The compounds have neuroprotective attributes without interfering with the drugs capacity to pass through the blood brain barrier. These compounds have neuroprotective activity because of their inhibition of neuronal cell cycle progression. The compounds are characterized in part by a fifth ring joining positions 9 and 10.
本公开涉及利用四环素骨架的组合物和方法,优选是四环素或米诺环素的骨架,并且明显缺乏抗生素活性。这些化合物具有神经保护特性,而不会干扰药物通过血脑屏障的能力。这些化合物由于抑制神经元细胞周期进展而具有神经保护活性。这些化合物部分地以第五环连接9和10位置为特征。
