The present invention relates, in certain embodiments, to methods for preventing and/or treating neurodegenerative damage (e.g., secondary cascade of neurodegenerative damage) and improving functional outcomes (e.g., outcomes associated with cognitive, behavior and sensorimotor function) caused by traumatic brain injury using neuroprotective lipoyl compounds. The present invention also provides, in various embodiments, compositions for use in treating and/or preventing TBI in a subject in need thereof, compounds for use in the manufacture of a medicament for treating and/or preventing TBI in a subject in need thereof, and methods of preparing a pharmaceutical composition for treating and/or preventing secondary brain damage caused by TBI.

Compositions and methods for treating traumatic brain injury

The present invention relates to compositions comprising a substantially pure compound represented by Structural Formula I: and methods of using such compounds to activate cytoprotective kinases. The values and preferred values of the variables in Structural Formula I are defined herein.

Compositions and methods for treating ischemia and ischemia-reperfusion injury

The present invention relates, in various embodiments, to a compound represented by Structural Formula (I), pharmaceutically acceptable salts or prodrugs thereof, and compositions comprising said compounds, or pharmaceutically acceptable salts or prodrugs thereof. Methods of using compounds of Structural Formulas (I) and (Ia) or compositions comprising compounds of Structural Formulas (I) and (Ia), or pharmaceutically acceptable salts or prodrugs thereof, to treat ischemia or ischemia-reperfusion injury are also disclosed.

Lipoyl compounds and methods for treating ischemic injury

The present invention relates, in various embodiments, to a compound represented by Structural Formula (I), pharmaceutically acceptable salts or prodrugs thereof, and compositions comprising said compounds, or pharmaceutically acceptable salts or prodrugs thereof. Methods of using compounds of Structural Formulas (I) and (la) or compositions comprising compounds of Structural Formulas (I) and (la), or pharmaceutically acceptable salts or prodrugs thereof, to treat ischemia or ischemia-reperfusion injury are also disclosed.

Lipoyl compounds and their use for treating ischemic injury

The present invention relates, in some embodiments, to compositions comprising a substantially pure compound represented by Structural Formula (I) and methods of using such compounds to activate cytoprotective kinases. In additional embodiments, the invention relates to methods for treating an ischemia or an ischemia-reperfusion injury in a subject, comprising administering to the subject an effective amount of a compound of the invention (e.g., in multiple doses). The values and preferred values of the variables in Structural Formula (I) are defined herein. 

The present invention relates to compositions comprising a substantially pure compound represented by Structural Formula II: and methods of using such compounds to activate cytoprotective kinases.
