  • Publication number: 20230125280
    Abstract: Novel tetrahydroisoquinoline derivative compounds are disclosed herein that may be used as an active ingredient for a pharmaceutical composition, and in particular, for a pharmaceutical composition useful for preventing or treating a disease or condition responsive to modulation of the contractility of the skeletal sarcomere. This may be accomplished, for example, by modulation of the troponin complex of the fast skeletal muscle sarcomere through one or more of fast skeletal myosin, actin, tropomyosin, troponin C, troponin I, and troponin T, and fragments and isoforms thereof. The tetrahydroisoquinoline derivative compounds can thus be used as an agent for preventing or treating 1) neuromuscular disorders, 2) disorders of voluntary muscle, 3) CNS disorders in which muscle weakness, atrophy, and fatigue are prominent symptoms, 4) muscle symptoms stemming from systemic disorders, and 5) dysfunctions of pelvic floor and urethral/anal sphincter muscle.

  • Publication number: 20230107277
    Abstract: The present invention addresses the problem of providing a pharmaceutical composition, in particular a compound suitable for prevention and/or treatment of an inflammatory disease and/or a neurodegenerative disease. The inventors of the present invention conducted extensive studies to find a compound that has suppressive action on NLRP3 inflammasome activation, and found that a substituted pyridazine compound has suppressive action on NLRP3 inflammasome activation, leading to completion of the present invention. The substituted pyridazine compound according to the present invention is expected to serve as a drug for prevention and/or treatment of an inflammatory disease and/or a neurodegenerative disease.
