N-LINKED UREAS AND CARBAMATES OF HETEROCYCLIC THIOESTERS AND PHARMACEUTICAL COMPOSITIONS CONTAINING THEM

摘要

This invention relates to neurotrophic low molecular weight, small molecule N-linked ureas and carbamates of heterocyclic thioesters having an affinity for FKBP-type immunophilins, and their use as inhibitors of the enzyme activity associated with immunophilin proteins, particularly peptidyl-prolyl isomerase, or rotamase, enzyme activity.
