Abstract

The present invention relates to compounds and methods of use thereof for treatment of certain disorders and conditions, for example brain injuries such as stroke or traumatic brain injuries.

Claims (25)

1. A method of treating a brain or central nervous system (CNS) injury or condition selected from traumatic brain injury (TBI) or stroke, comprising administering to a patient in need thereof an effective amount of a compound selected from:

a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, or a pharmaceutically acceptable composition comprising the same.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the compound is

or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the compound is

or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the brain or central nervous system (CNS) injury or condition is TBI.

5. The method of claim 4 , wherein the TBI is selected from concussion, blast injury, combat-related injury, or a mild, moderate or severe blow to the head.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the compound is administered within 24 hours of the TBI or stroke.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the compound is administered within 8 hours of the TBI or stroke.

8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the compound is administered at least during the first 8-48 hours following the TBI or stroke.

9. The method of claim 1 , wherein the brain or central nervous system (CNS) injury or condition is stroke.

10. The method of claim 9 , wherein the compound is administered chronically to treat the stroke during the time period after the stroke has occurred as it resolves.

11. The method of claim 1 , wherein neuroprotection or neurorestoration is increased in the patient as compared with an untreated patient.

12. The method of claim 1 , wherein the compound is administered orally, intravenously, or parenterally.

13. A method of increasing neuroprotection or neurorestoration in a patient who has suffered a TBI or stroke, comprising administering to a patient in need thereof an effective amount of a compound selected from

a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, or a pharmaceutically acceptable composition comprising the same.

14. The method of claim 13 , wherein the compound is

or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof.

15. The method of claim 13 , wherein the compound is

or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof.

16. The method of claim 13 , wherein the neuroprotection or neurorestoration decreases the recovery period after the TBI or stroke as compared with an untreated patient.

17. The method of claim 13 , wherein the compound is administered orally, intravenously, or parenterally.

18. The method of claim 1 , wherein the compound or pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof has an unbound fraction in plasma of at least about 0.7 or at least about 0.08 unbound fraction in brain, or both.

19. The method of claim 13 , wherein the compound or pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof has an unbound fraction in plasma of at least about 0.7 or at least about 0.08 unbound fraction in brain, or both.
