DIPEPTIDE MIMETICS OF NGF AND BDNF NEUROTROPHINS
-
Paragraph 0101; 0102, (2019/04/16)
The invention relates to compounds having either agonist or antagonist activities for the neurotrophins NGF and BDNF and represented by monomeric or dimeric substituted dipeptides that are analogs of the exposed portions of loop 1 or loop 4 regions of these neurotrophins near or at a beta-turn of the respective loop. N-acylated substituents of these dipeptides are biostereoisomers of the amino acid residues preceding these dipeptide sequences in the neurotrophin primary structure. The dimeric structure is produced advantageously by using hexatnethylenediaanine to which dipeptides are attached via their carboxyl groups. The claimed compounds displayed neuroprotective and differentiation-inducing activities in cellular models and enhanced the amount of phosphorylated tyrosine kinase A and the heat shock proteins Hsp32 and Hsp70 in the concentration range of 10 -9 to 10 -5 M. They also displayed neuroprotective, anti-parkinsonian, anti-stroke, anti-ischemic, anti-depressant and anti-amnestic activities in animal models and were active in experimental models of Alzheimer's disease. These in vivo effects of the claimed compounds are displayed in the dose range of 0.01 to 10 mg/kg when administered intraperitoneally.

We report the synthesis of dendrons and dendrimers with branching units composed of two parts: a residue with biological activity and a branching molecule. This approach allows better exploitation of the dendritic architecture, giving to the scaffolding s
