Fused heterocycles
Abstract
This invention provides methods of improving cognitive function by administering to a subject a therapeutically effective amount of a fused heterocycle having the formula: in which R 1 is a member selected from the group consisting of H, substituted or unsubstituted arylalkyl and substituted or unsubstituted heteroarylalkyl. R 2 is a member selected from the group consisting of H substituted or unsubstituted alkenyl, substituted or unsubstituted arylalkyl and substituted or unsubstituted heteroarylalkyl. R 3 is a member selected from the group consisting of H, C 1 -C 6 substituted or unsubstituted alkyl, substituted or unsubstituted arylalkyl and substituted or unsubstituted heteroarylalkyl. R 4 is a member selected from OH and O − X + , in which X + is positive ion which is a member selected from organic positive ions and inorganic positive ions. Substituted or unsubstituted arylalkyl and substituted or unsubstituted heteroarylalkyl moieties have the formula: in which Ar is a member selected from the group consisting of substituted or unsubstituted aryl and substituted or unsubstituted heteroaryl. The index n is an integer from 1 to 4.
Claims
exact text as granted — not AI-modified1 . A method of treating a subject for a condition selected from loss of memory, loss of cognition and a combination thereof, said method comprising administering to said subject a therapeutically effective amount of a D-amino oxidase inhibitor having the formula:

R 4 is a member selected from OH and O − X +
wherein
X + is a positive ion which is a member selected from organic positive ions and inorganic positive ions,
wherein
substituted or unsubstituted arylalkyl has the formula:
in which
Ar is substituted or unsubstituted aryl; and
n is an integer from 1 to 4.
2 . The method according to claim 1 wherein said condition is a result of Alzheimer's disease.
3 . The method according to claim 1 wherein said condition is a result of schizophrenia.
4 . The method according to claim 1 wherein said D-amino oxidase inhibitor is administered to said subject as a pharmaceutical composition in unit dosage form comprising, per dosage unit, a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier and a daily dosage of said D-amino oxidase inhibitor in an amount of about 0.1 mg to about 7000 mg.
5 . The method according to claim 4 wherein said D-amino oxidase inhibitor is present in said pharmaceutical composition in an amount of about 50 mg to about 500 mg.
6 . The method according to claim 5 wherein said D-amino oxidase inhibitor is present in said pharmaceutical composition in an amount of about 1 mg to about 100 mg.
7 . The method according to claim 6 wherein said D-amino oxidase inhibitor is present in said pharmaceutical composition in an amount of about 25 mg to about 50 mg.
8 . The method according to claim 4 wherein said unit dosage is an oral dosage form.
9 . The method according to claim 6 wherein oral dosage form is a member selected from a tablet and a capsule.
10 . A method of treating a subject for a condition selected from loss of memory, loss of cognition and a combination thereof, said method comprising administering to said subject a therapeutically effective amount of a D-amino oxidase inhibitor as a pharmaceutical composition comprising, in single or divided doses, a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier and a daily dosage from about 0.1 mg to about 7000 mg of said D-amino oxidase inhibitor, said D-amino oxidase inhibitor having the formula:
in which
R 1 is a member selected from the group consisting of H, and substituted or unsubstituted arylalkyl;
R 2 is a member selected from the group consisting of H, and substituted or unsubstituted arylalkyl; and
R 4 is a member selected from OH and O − X +
wherein
X + is a positive ion which is a member selected from organic positive ions and inorganic positive ions,
wherein
substituted or unsubstituted arylalkyl has the formula:
in which
Ar is substituted or unsubstituted aryl; and
n is an integer from 1 to 4.
11 . The method according to claim 10 wherein said condition is a result of Alzheimer's disease.
12 . The method according to claim 11 wherein said condition is a result of schizophrenia.
13 . The method according to claim 10 wherein said D-amino oxidase inhibitor is present in said pharmaceutical composition in an amount of about 50 mg to about 500 mg.
14 . The method according to claim 13 wherein said D-amino oxidase inhibitor is present in said pharmaceutical composition in an amount of about 1 mg to about 100 mg.
15 . The method according to claim 14 wherein said D-amino oxidase inhibitor is present in said pharmaceutical composition in an amount of about 25 mg to about 50 mg.
16 . The method according to claim 10 wherein said unit dosage is an oral dosage form.
17 . The method according to claim 16 wherein oral dosage form is a member selected from a tablet and a capsule.
18 . A method of claim 1 wherein
R 1 is H;
R 2 is H; and
R 4 is a member selected from OH and O − X +
wherein
X + is a positive ion which is a member selected from organic positive ions and inorganic positive ions.
19 . The method according to claim 18 wherein said condition is a result of Alzheimer's disease.
20 . The method according to claim 18 wherein said condition is a result of schizophrenia.Cited by (0)
