Abstract
Description
field of invention
[0001] The present invention relates to the field of therapeutic agents for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease, mild cognitive impairment and other diseases related to neuronal metabolic decline, including Parkinson's disease, Huntington's disease and epilepsy. Background of the invention
[0002] Many diseases are associated with neuronal hypoglucose metabolism and there is a need to treat these disorders. The compounds of the present invention are useful in the treatment of these disorders.
[0003] Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder that mainly affects the elderly. In 1984, Blass and Zemcov (Blass and Zemcov 1984) proposed that AD results from a decreased metabolic rate in a subpopulation of cholinergic neurons. However, it has become clear that AD is not limited to the cholinergic system, but involves many types of transmission systems and several discrete brain regions. Decreased metabolic rate appears to correla...
