Abstract: Disclosed herein are methods and associated compositions and medicaments directed generally to the control of cellular and neural activity and for selectively and controllably inducing the in vivo genetic expression of one or more naturally occurring genetically encoded molecules in mammals. More particularly, the present invention selectively activates or derepresses genes encoding for specific naturally occurring molecules such as proteins or neurotrophic factors and induces the endogenous production of such naturally occurring compounds through the administration of carbon monoxide dependent guanylyl cyclase modulating purine derivatives. The methods of the present invention may be used to affect a variety of cellular and neurological functions and activities and to therapeutically or prophylactically treat a wide variety of neurodegenerative, neurological, cellular, and physiological disorders.

Abstract: Pharmaceutical composite compositions comprising tetrahydroindolones linked to arylpiperazines and derivatives thereof are disclosed. Specifically, composite compositions useful in treating anti-psychotic disorders are disclosed. The composite compositions disclosed herein can effectively ameliorate symptoms and treat psychotic disorders without causing a decrease in cognitive function. Generally, the composite compounds consist of two moieties, moiety A and B in which a tetrahydroindolone comprises a moiety A linked through a linker L to a moiety B, where B is an arylpiperazinyl moiety. The composite compound provides anti-psychotic actively by interaction with GABA, seratoninne and dopamine receptors. The composite molecules with the combined activities will provide treat psychiatric and neurological diseases without cognitive impairment.

Abstract: A tetrahydroindolone derivative or analogue comprises a 9-atom bicyclic moiety, moiety A, linked through a linker L to a moiety B, where B is a carboxylic acid, a carboxylic acid ester, or a moiety of the structure N(Y1)-D, where Y1 can be one of a variety of substituents, including hydrogen or alkyl, and D is a moiety that enhances the pharmacological effects, promotes absorption or blood-brain barrier penetration of the derivative or analogue. The moiety A has a six-membered ring fused to a five-membered ring. The moiety A can have one, two, or three nitrogen atoms in the five membered ring. The moiety A can be a tetrahydroindolone moiety. The moiety B can be one of a variety of moieties, including moieties having nootropic activity or other biological or physiological activity.
