ABSTRACT:

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to novel monocyclic and bicyclic monoterpene diols that stimulate melanogenesis in mammalian skin, hair, wool or fur, and, are useful for treating or preventing various skin and proliferative disorders, neurodegenerative diseases, and diseases regulated by the nitric oxide/cyclic GMP/protein kinase G pathway.
2. Description of Related Art
U.S. Pat. No. 5,352,440 is directed to increasing melanin synthesis in melanocytes and increasing pigmentation by administration of certain diacylglycerol compounds.
U.S. Pat. No. 5,532,001 is directed to increasing pigmentation in mammalian skin via administration of certain DNA fragments.
U.S. Pat. No. 5,554,359 is directed to increasing levels of melanin in melanocytes by administration of lysosomotropic agents.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
In one aspect, the present invention is directed to compounds having the structure:
wherein
A is a substituted or unsubstituted cyclic terpene;
R
1
, R
2
, R
8
and R
9
are all —OH; and
R
3
, R
4
, R
5
, R
6
, R
7
and R
10
are each independently hydrogen, or a linear or branched, cyclic, bicyclic or polycyclic group containing from one atom to fifty atoms, at least one of which is carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, or sulfur.
Another aspect of the present invention concerns stimulation of melanogenesis in mammalian skin, hair, wool or fur, by administering to a locus in need of such stimulation an effective amount of one or more of the compounds described above.
Another aspect of the present invention concerns treatment of proliferative, tumorous or cancerous disorders in mammals, including but not limited to such conditions of a dermatological nature, by administering to a mammal in need of such treatment an effective amount of one or more of the compounds described above.
A further aspect of the present invention concerns treatment of neurodegenerative disorders or nerve damage in mammals by administering to a mammal in need of such treatment an effective amount of one or more of the compounds described above.
Another aspect of the present invention concerns treatment of diseases regulated by the nitric oxide/cyclic GMP/protein kinase G pathway in mammals by administering to a mammal in need of such treatment an effective amount of one or more of the compounds described above.
