摘要:
The instant invention is novel uses of known N-(2,6-disubstituted phenyl)-N'-3- and 4-pyridinyl ureas and pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salts thereof. Such compounds as N-(2-chloro-6-methylphenyl)-N'-4-pyridinyl urea monohydrochloride or N-(2,3-dichlorophenyl)-N'-4-pyridinyl urea are used for treating neurodegenerative disorders, perinatal asphyxia, Alzheimer's disease, Huntington's disease, Parkinson's disease, and Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis. The instant invention is similar novel uses of known anticonvulsant compounds as ralitoline, phenytoin, lamotrigine, tetrodotoxin, lidocaine, and carbamazepine.
