SIGMA(S) RECEPTORS LIGANDS WITH ANTI-APOPTOTIC AND/OR PRO-APOPTOTIC PROPERTIES, OVER CELLULAR MECHANISMS, EXHIBITING PROTOTYPICAL CYTOPROTECTIVE AND ALSO ANTICANCER ACTIVITY
The present invention involves new and original sigma receptors Iigands : (Mono-or dialkylaminoalkyl)- ?-butyrolactones, their analogues aminotetrahydroturanes, the (1-adamantyl) benzene alkylamines, the N,N Dialkyl a-[(adamantyl-1)benzyloxy-2] alkylamines and the 3-cyclopentyl adamantyl-amines or alkylamines or-alkyl phenylamines, their enantiomers or diastereoisomers, their pharmaceutically acceptable salts and Quinacrine Me-thylene blue, Astemizole and their relative analogues with pro-apoptotic and/or anti-apoptotic properties over cellular biochemical mechanisms, with prototypical anti-cancer, antimetastatic and antiviral activities associated with antagonism of the neuropatic pain and, at very low doses, with cytoprotectve and cytoregenerative activity against the cytodegenerative diseases.
