New carnitine derivatives, process for their preparation, and their use in human therapy.

摘要

New carnitine derivatives are described having the general formula (I): <CHEM> wherein A = H, -(CH2)n-O-CO-R1, n being 1 or 2, and B = -(CH2)m-O-CO-R2, m being 1, 2, 3,4 with the limitation that when A = -(CH2)n-O-CO-R1, m is 1 or 2, and in which R1 and R2, equal or different are radicals of aliphatic, aromatic, araliphatic, alicyclic or heterocyclic acids. The process for preparing said derivatives is also described and their use in the therapy of human pathologies associated with neuronal damages.
