Abstract
The invention relates to the design and synthesis of novel anabaseine-based compounds, which are useful in treating or preventing a wide variety of conditions, including nervous system diseases or disorders, such as, schizophrenia, Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, drug dependence, and substance addiction, and compositions, kits, and methods thereof. The invention also provides novel anabaseine-based compounds, compositions, kits, and methods thereof for treating or preventing non-nerve system diseases or disorders (such as, inflammation and cancer) in a subject identified in need thereof. Certain enantiomeric compounds of the invention exhibited enhanced selectivity toward α7 nAChRs relative to alpha4beta2 nAChRs. Other enantiomeric compounds of the invention exhibited enhanced selectivity for alpha4beta2 nAChRs relative to α7 nAChRs.
