BRAIN-SPECIFIC ANALOGUES OF CENTRALLY ACTING AMINES

摘要

The subject compounds, which are adapted for the site-specific/sustained delivery of centrally acting drug species to the brain, are compounds of the formula (I), and the non-toxic pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof, wherein D is the residue of a centrally acting primary, secondary or tertiary amine and -N is an unsubstituted or substituted dihydropyridyl, dihydroquinolyl or dihydroisoquinolyl radical. The corresponding ionic pyridinium, quinolinium and isoquinolinium salts D-N+ X-, wherein X- is the anion of a non-toxic pharmaceutically acceptable acid, are also disclosed.
