Sigma receptors ligands with anti-apoptotic and/or pro-apoptotic properties, over cellular mechanisms, exhibiting prototypical cytoprotective and also anti-cancer activity
The present invention involves new and original sigma receptors ligands: (Mono- or dialkylaminoalkyl)-γ-butyrolactones, their analogues aminotetrahydroturanes, the (1-adamantyl)benzene alkylamines, the N,N Dialkyl α-[(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, Asteinizole 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 cytoprotective and cytoregenerative activity against the cytodegenerative diseases.
