Claims (70)

1. A compound of Formula (1):

a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, or a deuterated derivative of any of the foregoing, wherein:

at least one of the carbon atoms at positions 2 and 8 of Formula (1) is replaced by a silicon atom;

at least one of the methyl groups at positions 3, 4, 5, 5′, 6, 7, and 10 of Formula (1) is replaced by a group chosen from —Si(R) 3 groups, —Si(R)2(OR) groups, and —Si(R)(OR) 2 groups;

at least one of the methylene groups at positions 1, 9, and 12 of Formula (1) is replaced by a group chosen from >Si(R) 2 groups and >Si(R)(OR) groups; and/or

the methine group at position 11 of Formula (1) is replaced by a group chosen from ≡Si(R) groups and ≡Si(OR) groups; and

wherein each R, which may be identical or different, is independently chosen from hydrogen, hydroxyl, and C 1 -C 4 alkyl groups.

2. A compound according to claim 1 , a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, or a deuterated derivative of any of the foregoing, wherein at least one of the carbon atoms at positions 2 and 8 of Formula (1) is replaced by a silicon atom.

3. A compound according to claim 1 , a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, or a deuterated derivative of any of the foregoing, wherein at least one of the methyl groups at positions 3, 4, 5, 5′, 6, 7, and 10 of Formula (1) is replaced by a group chosen from —Si(R) 3 groups, —Si(R) 2 (OR) groups, and —Si(R)(OR)2 groups.

4. A compound according to claim 1 , a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, or a deuterated derivative of any of the foregoing, wherein at least one of the methylene groups at positions 1, 9, and 12 of Formula (1) is replaced by a group chosen from >Si(R) 2 groups and >Si(R)(OR) groups.

5. A compound according to claim 1 , a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, or a deuterated derivative of any of the foregoing, wherein the methine group at position 11 of Formula (1) is replaced by a group chosen from ≡Si(R) groups and ≡Si(OR) groups.

6. A compound according to claim 1 chosen from Compound (1-1):
