Title:
SAFE CHEMICAL UNCOUPLERS FOR THE TREATMENT OF OBESITY
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO2004041256
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
This invention relates to chemical uncouplers with a broader safety window making the use of them in treating obesity and, consequently, in the treatment of obesity related dis-eases and conditions such as atherosclerosis, hypertension, diabetes, especially type 2 dia-betes (NIDDM (non-insulin dependent diabetes mellitus)), impaired glucose tolerance, dyslip-idemia, coronary heart disease, gallbladder disease, osteoarthritis and various types of can-cer such as endometrial, breast, prostate and colon cancers and the risk for premature death as well as other conditions, such as diseases and disorders, which conditions are improved by an increase in mitochondrial respiration, more attractive.
