USE OF PHTHALIMIDE AND/OR SULPHONAMIDE DERIVATIVES IN THE TREATMENT OF DISEASES WHICH REQUIRE REDUCING THE TNF-alpha LEVELS AND AN EXOGENOUS SOURCE OF NITRIC OXIDE, PHTHALIMIDE DERIVATIVES, SULPHONAMIDE DERIVATIVES, AND A METHOD FOR OBTAINING A SULPHONAMIDE DERIVATIVE

摘要

Preparation and use of phthalimide and/or sulphonamide derivatives with nitric oxide donor properties, having activities in increasing gamma-globin gene expression and anti-inflammatory and analgesic activities, effective in the treatment of hematologic diseases which require reducing the TNF-α levels and an exogenous source of nitric oxide, such as sickle-cell disease. The functionalized phthalimide derivatives are designed from the prototypes thalidomide and hydroxyurea.
