Benzamide derivatives for inhibiting endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress

摘要

Novel 3-(N-piperidinyl)methyl benzamide derivatives are disclosed. The compounds can be used in treating diseases and conditions which are associated with abnormal cell function related to endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress. For example, the compounds can be used as suppressors of ER stress-induced pancreatic β-cell dysfunction and death, for example in the treatment of diabetes.
