Use of non-estrogen polycyclic phenol compounds for the manufacture of a medicament for conferring neuroprotection tocells

摘要

The invention relates to the use of non-estrogen compounds having a terminal phenol group in a structure containing at least a second ring and having a molecular weight of less than 1000 Daltons (e.g. naphthols, phenanthrenes or steroid) for the manufacture of a medicament for conferring neuroprotection to cells in a subject.
