This invention relates to the use of bis- and tris-dihydroxyaryl compounds as well as sulfonamides, heteroaryls, tricycloalkyl and their analogs and pharmaceutically acceptable salts, for modulating tau aggregation and alleviating tauopathies, such as Alzheimer's disease (AD), Pick's disease (PiD), progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP), corticobasal degeneration (CBD) and familial frontotemporal dementia / Parkinsonism linked to chromosome 17 (FTDP-17), amyotrophic lateral sclerosis / Parkinsonism-dementia complex, argyrophilic grain dementia, dementia pugilistic, diffuse neurofibrillary tangles with calcification, progressive subcortical gliosis and tangle only dementia.

The invention is directed to substituted isoquinoline derivatives and uses thereof. Specifically, the invention is directed to compounds according to Formula I and the use of compounds of Formula (I)in treating disease states: (I) wherein R1, R2, R3, R4, R5, R6, R7 and X are as defined herein. The compounds of the invention are inhibitors of PERK and can be useful in the treatment of cancer, pre-cancerous syndromes and diseases associated with activated unfolded protein response pathways, such as Alzheimer's disease, spinal cord injury, traumatic brain injury, ischemic stroke, stroke, Parkinson disease, diabetes, metabolic syndrome, metabolic disorders, Huntington's disease, Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease, fatal familial insomnia, Gerstmann-Str ussler-Scheinker syndrome, and related prion diseases, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, progressive supranuclear palsy, myocardial infarction, cardiovascular disease, inflammation, organ fibrosis, chronic and acute diseases of the liver, fatty liver disease, liver steatosis, liver fibrosis, chronic and acute diseases of the lung, lung fibrosis, chronic and acute diseases of the kidney, kidney fibrosis, chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE), neurodegeneration, dementias, frontotemporal dementias, tauopathies, Pick's disease, Neimann-Pick's disease, amyloidosis, cognitive impairment, ather osclerosis, ocular diseases, arrhythmias, in organ transplantation and in the transportation of organs for transplantation. Accordingly, the invention is further directed to pharmaceutical compositions comprising a compound of the invention. The inventionis still further directed to methods of inhibiting PERK activity and treatment of disorders associated therewith using a compound of the invention or a pharmaceutical composition comprising a compound of the invention.

The present invention relates to a pharmaceutical composition for the prevention or treatment of degenerative neurological brain disorders, and more specifically relates to a pharmaceutical composition for the prevention or treatment of degenerative neurological brain disorders such as Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer's dementia (senile dementia), stroke, Lou Gehrig's disease, Pick's disease, Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease, Huntington's disease, progressive supranuclear palsy, spinocerebellar ataxia, cerebellar atrophy, multiple sclerosis, post-traumatic stress disorder and amnesia, which composition contains a paraben compound constituting an active ingredient having effects that are useful in combating oxidation to remove active oxygen, suppressing cell-death, improving impaired movement and enhancing declining memory.

This invention relates to the use of bis- and tris-dihydroxyaryl compounds as well as sulfonamides, heteroaryls, tricycloalkyl and their analogs and pharmaceutically acceptable salts, for modulating tau aggregation and alleviating tauopathies, such as Alzheimer's disease (AD), Pick's disease (PiD), progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP), corticobasal degeneration (CBD) and familial frontotemporal dementia / Parkinsonism linked to chromosome 17 (FTDP-17), amyotrophic lateral sclerosis / Parkinsonism-dementia complex, argyrophilic grain dementia, dementia pugilistic, diffuse neurofibrillary tangles with calcification, progressive subcortical gliosis and tangle only dementia.
