Definitions

  • the present disclosure relates to compounds that modulate SARM1, compositions comprising the compounds, methods of preparing the compounds, and methods of using the compounds to treat various diseases or conditions, e.g., those caused by axonal degeneration.
  • Axonal degeneration causes disease progression and accumulation of disability in many degenerative diseases of the peripheral nervous system (PNS) and central nervous systems (CNS) , such as multiple sclerosis, Parkinson's disease, and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) , or acute conditions such as traumatic brain injury.
  • PNS peripheral nervous system
  • CNS central nervous systems
  • ALS amyotrophic lateral sclerosis
  • acute conditions such as traumatic brain injury.
  • SARM1 (Sterile Alpha and TIR Motif-containing 1) is a unique member of the Myd88 family of adaptor proteins and is considered a major driver of an evolutionarily conserved program of axonal degeneration downstream of chemical, inflammatory, mechanical or metabolic insults to the axon.
