摘要:
Some exemplary embodiments comprise fluoro-containing derivatives of pyrido[4,3-b]indoles (and exemplary methods of making the same) that may be administered to a mammal (including a human) in an effective amount for potential use in the treatment or prophylaxis of neurological disorders including AD, mild cognitive impairment, senile and vascular dementia, HD, ALS, Parkinson's disease, AIDS-related dementia, ischaemic cerebral pathologies, neuropathic pain, ADHD (attention deficit disorder/hyperactivity syndrome), eating disorders such as anorexia and bulimia, panic attacks, withdrawal from drug abuse such as cocaine, ethanol, nicotine and benzodiazepines, schizophrenia (in particular the cognitive deficit of schizophrenia), stroke and also disorders associated with spinal trauma and/or head injury. These derivatives may also be useful for the treatment of borderline personality disorder, obesity, and for use as geroprotectors. The compounds may also be used as “pharmacological tools” for an investigation of the mechanism of protection against neurodegeneration disorders in vivo or in vitro.
