Model systems have shown that shifting a cell's reliance from oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) to glycolysis can protect against cell death. Exploiting the therapeutic potential of this strategy, however, has been limited by the lack of clinically safe agents that remodel energy metabolism. The present invention identifies non-toxic small molecules (e.g., drug-like compounds) that are capable of modulating oxidative metabolism. One identified compound comprises meclizine. As described herein, meclizine, and its enantiomer S-meclizine, redirects OXPHOS to glycolysis. Such compounds could be protective or therapeutic in degenerative disorders such as diabetes, Huntington's, Parkinson's, and Alzheimer's disease and/or ischemic disorders including, but not limited to, stroke, heart attack, or reperfusion injuries.

The present invention generally relates to eutectic compositions comprising pharmaceutical agents and other beneficial substances, and in particular, to eutectic compositions where the pharmaceutical agent and beneficial substance forms a part of the eutectic composition. In one aspect, the pharmaceutical agent and beneficial substance defines part of the eutectic composition, i.e., rather than just being present within the eutectic composition. In one set of embodiments, at least about 20 mol % of the eutectic composition may comprise a hydrogen bond donor and a hydrogen bond acceptor, for example, acetaminophen and choline chloride, respectively. However, in other embodiments, the pharmaceutical agent can be either donor or acceptor, and the other agent either donor or acceptor. Other aspects are generally directed to methods of making such compositions, methods of using such compositions, kits including such compositions, etc.
Disclosed herein are substituted benzhydrylethers of Formula (I), processes of preparation thereof, pharmaceutical compositions thereof, and methods of their use therof.
