Abstract

The present invention relates to compounds and pharmaceutical preparations and their use in therapy for preventing or treating trauma, ischemia, stroke and degenerative diseases associated with cell death. Methods and compositions of the invention are particularly useful for treating neurological disorders associated with cellular necrosis.

Claims

1. A compound selected from the group consisting of:

2. The compound of claim 1, wherein said compound is selected from the group consisting of:

3. A pharmaceutical composition comprising

(i) the compound of claim 1, or a stereoisomeric form thereof, or a pharmaceutically acceptable acid or base addition salt of the compound or of a stereoisomeric form thereof;

and

(ii) a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier.

4. A method of treating a necrotic cell disease comprising administering to a subject having a necrotic cell disease a compound of claim 1,

or a stereoisomeric form thereof, or a pharmaceutically acceptable acid or base addition salt of the compound or of a stereoisomeric form thereof, and

wherein said necrotic cell disease is trauma, ischemia, stroke, cardiac infarction, infection, sepsis, Parkinson'"'"'s disease, Alzheimer'"'"'s disease, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, Huntington'"'"'s disease, or HIV-associated dementia.

5. A compound having a structure according to the following formula,

6. A pharmaceutical composition comprising

(i) the compound of claim 5, or a stereoisomeric form thereof, or a pharmaceutically acceptable acid or base addition salt of the compound or of a stereoisomeric form thereof;

and

(ii) a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier.

7. A method of treating a necrotic cell disease comprising administering to a subject having a necrotic cell disease a compound of claim 5,

or a stereoisomeric form thereof, or a pharmaceutically acceptable acid or base addition salt of the compound or of a stereoisomeric form thereof, and

wherein said necrotic cell disease is trauma, ischemia, stroke, cardiac infarction, infection, sepsis, Parkinson'"'"'s disease, Alzheimer'"'"'s disease, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, Huntington'"'"'s disease, or HIV-associated dementia.
