摘要:
The present invention relates to substituted imidazopyridine derivatives as melanocortin-4 receptor (MC-4R) modulators, in particular as melanocortin 4 receptor antagonists. The antagonists are useful for the treatment of disorders and diseases such as cachexia induced by e.g. cancer, chronic kidney disease (CKD) or chronic heart failure (CHF), muscle wasting, anorexia induced by e.g. chemotherapy or radiotherapy, anorexia nervosa, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), pain, neuropathic pain, anxiety and depression.
摘要:
The present invention relates to novel a-keto carbonyl calpain inhibitors for the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases and neuromuscular diseases including Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy, Becker Muscular Dystrophy and other muscular dystrophies. Disuse atrophy and general muscle wasting can also be treated. Diseases of the eye, in particular cataract, can be treated as well. Generally all condition where elevated levels of calpains are involved can be treated. The compounds of the invention may also inhibit other thiol proteases such as cathepsin B, cathepsin H, cathepsin L, papain or the like. Multicatalytic Protease also known as proteasome may also be inhibited and the compounds can therefore be used to treat cell proliferative diseases such as cancer, psoriasis, and restenosis. The compounds of the present invention are also inhibitors of cell damage by oxidative stress through free radicals can he used to treat mitochondrial disorders and neurodegenerative diseases, where elevated levels of oxidative stress are involved. In addition they induce the expression of utrophin, which is beneficial for the treatment of Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy and Becker Muscular Dystrophy.
