NOVEL LIPOIC ACID HETEROCYCLIC OR BENZENE DERIVATIVES, PREPARATION AND USE THEREOF AS MEDICINES

摘要

The invention concerns novel heterocyclic or benzene derivatives comprising a lateral chain derived from lipoic acid, having an activity inhibiting NO-synthase enzymes producing NO nitrogen monoxide and/or are agents enabling regeneration of antioxidants or entities trapping reactive oxygen species (ROS) and intervening more generally in the redox status of thiol groups. The invention also concerns methods for preparing them, pharmaceutical compositions containing them and their therapeutic use, particularly their use as NO-synthase inhibitors and/or as agents involved more generally in the redox status of thiol groups.
