  • Publication number: 20120035173
    Abstract: This invention relates to compounds, pharmaceutical compositions and methods for use in the prevention and treatment of cerebral insufficiency, including enhancement of receptor functioning in synapses in brain networks responsible for basic and higher order behaviors. These brain networks, which are involved in regulation of breathing, and cognitive abilities related to memory impairment, such as is observed in a variety of dementias, in imbalances in neuronal activity between different brain regions, as is suggested in disorders such as Parkinson's disease, schizophrenia, respiratory depression, sleep apneas, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder and affective or mood disorders, among numerous others. In a particular aspect, the invention relates to compounds useful for treatment of such conditions, and methods of using these compounds for such treatment.

  • Patent number: 8088802
    Abstract: An N-phenylarylsulfonylamide compound of formula (I) (R1 is COOH etc.; R2 is hydrogen, methyl, etc.; R3 and R4 are a combination of methyl and methyl, etc.; R5 is isopropyl etc.; Ar is thiazolyl, pyridyl, 5-methyl-2-furyl each optionally substituted with methyl; n is zero or 1), a synthetic intermediate for the compound and a process for its preparation. The compound of formula (I) binds to a prostaglandin E2 receptor, especially an EP1 subtype receptor, and antagonizes it. It is less affected by protein binding, so it has a satisfactory in vivo activity. Therefore, it is considered to be useful as an analgesic, an antipyretic agent, an agent for the treatment of pollakiuria (frequent urination) and/or lower urinary tract disease syndrome or an antineoplastic agent.
