METHODS OF MODULATING PROTEIN HOMEOSTASIS, METABOLIC SYNDROME, HEAVY METAL INTOXICATION AND NRF2 TRANSCRIPTION FACTORS

摘要

Phthalazinediones that function as intracellular redox modulators in the redox therapy of certain stressed cells are provided. By buffering aberrant redox states, phthalazinediones enable cellular processes essential for survival and augment medical treatments. The phthalazinediones of the invention can modulate functions related to cell growth, differentiation, activity, or death, to correct aberrations and restore homeostasis, and can serve as adjunctive therapy in treating various disease conditions.
