Compounds which inhibits protein prenylation ( e.g. geranylgeranyltransferase or farnesyltransferase inhibitors) for treating Parkinson's disease

摘要

The invention relates to compounds and their uses, particularly in the pharmaceutical industry. The invention more specifically relates to new uses of compounds that inhibit the prenylation of proteins, in particular the geranylgeranyl and/or farnesyl modifications of proteins, for treating neurodegeneration involving oxidative stress and, more particularly, Parkinson's disease. The invention also relates to corresponding methods of treatment, and can be used in human subjects for preventive or curative treatment, either alone or in combination with other active agents or treatments.
