Abstract
Pharmaceutical compounds are disclosed having a bicyclic-sulphonamide structure of Formula 1: wherein R1 represents an unsubstituted or a substituted heteroaryl ring; R2, R3, R4, and R5 are independently selected from hydrogen, alkyl, hydroxyalkyl, and alkyl-O-alkyl, provided that either R2 and R3, or R4 and R5 are linked or taken together to form a bridge between the carbon atoms to which R2 and R3, or R4 and R5 respectively are directly linked, whereby the N-containing ring in Formula 1 is an azabicyclo moiety. The compounds and compositions including the compounds may be used in therapy as brain-cell-death protectants, for example, in the treatment of chronic neurodegenerative diseases. The compounds are active as inhibitors of N-acylethanolamine-hydrolysing acid amidase (NAAA) and may be used for the therapeutic treatment and prevention of pain and inflammatory disorders and other disorders which benefit from the modulation of fatty acid ethanolamides, particularly palmitoylethanolamide (PEA).
