Compounds and a method of treating a
retinal disease that leads to photoreceptor loss or outer-
retina degeneration, including administering compound of the formula (I)or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt, a
racemic mixture, a corresponding
enantiomer or, if applicable, a corresponding
diastereomer thereof, wherein: A is selected from 5-oxazolyl,
pyridine-4-yl, triazolyl, oxadiazolyl, imidazolyl and 2-methyloxazol-5-yl residue, R1, and R12 are independently selected from
hydrogen, fluoro, chloro, methoxy,
trifluoromethyl, methyl and difluoromethoxy, B is selected from a residue of formulae (II)-(IX)wherein,“*” denotes the point of attachment to the remainder of the molecule, andR2, R3, R4, R5, R2I, R3I, R4I, R5I, R2II, R3II, R4II, R5II, R2III, R3III, R4III, R5III, R2IV, R3IV, R4IV, R5IV, R2V, R3V, R4V, R5V, R2VI, R3VI, R4VI, R5VI, R2VII, R3VII, R4VII, and R5VII are independently selected from
hydrogen, linear or branched
alkyl having 1-3 carbon atoms, fluoro, chloro, bromo, methoxy, ethoxy, propoxy, 2,2,2-
