Patent number: 9447028Abstract: The present invention pertains generally to the field of therapeutic compounds, and more specifically to certain aryl-amido-aryl compounds of the following formula (for convenience, collectively referred to herein as “AAA compounds”), which, inter alia, are (selective) retinoic acid receptor ? (RAR?) agonists. The present invention also pertains to pharmaceutical compositions comprising such compounds, and the use of such compounds and compositions, both in vitro and in vivo, to (selectively) activate RAR?, and in the treatment of diseases and conditions that are mediated by RAR?, that are ameliorated by the activation of RAR?, etc., including cognitive disorders, memory impairment, memory deficit, senile dementia, Alzheimer's disease, early stage Alzheimer's disease, intermediate stage Alzheimer's disease, late stage Alzheimer's disease, cognitive impairment, and mild cognitive impairment.Type: GrantFiled: October 9, 2015Date of Patent: September 20, 2016Assignee: King's College LondonInventors: Jonathan Patrick Thomas Corcoran, Sarkis Barret Kalindjian, Alan David Borthwick, David Reginald Adams, Jane Theresa Brown, David Michel Adrien Taddei, Jason John Shiers
