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.

Abstract: A pyrimidine derivative or analogue comprises an amino-substituted six-membered heterocyclic 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 promotes blood-brain barrier penetration of the derivative or analogue. The moiety A can have two or three nitrogen atoms in the ring; typically, the moiety A is a pyrimidine moiety, with two nitrogen atoms in the ring. The moiety B can be one of a variety of moieties, including moieties having nootropic activity or other biological or physiological activity.

Abstract: A method of treating drug-induced peripheral neuropathy comprising administering to a patient with drug-induced peripheral neuropathy an effective quantity of N-4-carboxaphenyl-3-(6-oxohydropurin-9-yl)propananide AIT-082, is disclosed. Peripheral nerve sprouting can be induced through the action of a neurotrophic factor such as nerve growth factor (NGF) without the occurrence of hyperalgesia. The peripheral nerve sprouting can be nociceptive nerve sprouting. The drug-induced peripheral neuropathy is associated with the administration of oncolytic drugs, such as a vinca alkaloid, cisplatin, paclitaxel, suramin, altretamine, carboplatin, chlorambucil, cytarabine, dacarbazine, docetaxel, etoposide, fludarabine, ifosfamide with mesna, tamoxifen, teniposide, or thioguanine.
