摘要:
The invention relates to compounds and methods of treatment relating to nicotinic receptor antagonists. For example, the compounds and methods of treatment function block the activity of certain acetylcholine receptors and subtypes therein, and are useful treating diseases and conditions mediated by nicotinic receptor stimulation, e.g., small cell lung cancer.
摘要:
It is an object of the present invention that the novel nicotinic receptor antagonists disclosed herein may be used in a broad array of clinical or medicinal facets. For example, it is a contemplated use of the present invention that the novel nicotinic receptor antagonists be used to inhibit the growth cycle of non-small cell lung cancer cells. Without being bound by theory, it is an object of the present invention that the nicotinic receptor antagonists disclosed herein are believed to possess reversible binding properties. Moreover, the compounds of the present invention are selective for 0.7 nAChR. For example, the compounds of the present invention are not believed to bind to 0.4 (32 nAChR neuromuscular receptors. It is also contemplated that the nicotinic receptor antagonists of the present invention will be used as a counter measure to treat exposure, or potential exposure, to a wide array of potential neurotoxins.
