This technology relates generally to 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. Various compounds 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.
本技术一般涉及刺激神经发生(如出生后神经发生,包括出生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。本文公开了多种化合物。体内活性测试表明,这些化合物可能对神经精神疾病和/或神经退行性疾病有治疗作用,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、唐氏综合征、脊髓小脑共济失调、肌萎缩侧索硬化症等、肌萎缩性脊髓侧索硬化症、亨廷顿氏病、中风、放射治疗、慢性压力、滥用神经活性药物、视网膜变性、脊髓损伤、周围神经损伤、与各种疾病相关的生理性体重减轻,以及与正常衰老、化疗等相关的认知能力下降。
