Abstract

Provided herein are biaryl amides and coumarin-based compounds with modified sugar groups having the formulas: wherein variables are as defined herein. Pharmaceutical compositions of the compounds are also provided. These biaryl amides and coumarin-based derivatives with modified sugar groups are useful for treatment and prevention of diseases and disorders, including neurological disorders, such as neurodegenerative diseases and nerve damaging disorders, for example, diabetic peripheral neuropathy.
