Styrene compounds, methods for preparing the same, and uses thereof in the preparation of medicaments for treating
drug addiction and alleviating withdrawal symptoms. Disclosed are
styrene compounds having the structure of Formula III: or stereoisomers, deuterated compounds, or pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof, wherein R 1 , R 2 , R 3 are each independently selected from
hydrogen, hydroxyl, alkoxy, or
phosphate; L is selected from carbonyl or
methylene; X is selected from O; R 4 is selected from
hydrogen, C1-C 10 linear or branched
alkyl, C3-C 10 cycloalkyl, aralkyl, hydroxyalkyl, or carbonylalkyl. The
styrene compounds of the present invention not only intervene in
METH-induced reward behavior, but also improve negative emotional behaviors such as depression and
anxiety commonly seen during withdrawal, and have a dual value of significantly alleviating both
addiction symptom formation and withdrawal symptoms. Disclosed are uses of the
styrene compounds or stereoisomers, deuterated compounds, or pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof in the preparation of medicaments for preventing and / or treating
methamphetamine addiction and alleviating depression and
anxiety-like behaviors caused by
methamphetamine withdrawal.
