The patent US12071404B2 outlines a method for treating demyelination disorders of the central nervous system, specifically targeting conditions associated with the GPR17 receptor. The treatment involves administering a therapeutically effective amount of a compound defined by a specific chemical structure, referred to as Formula I-2. The claims detail various structural modifications and derivatives of this compound, including its pharmaceutically acceptable salts, solvates, isotopes, or co-crystals. The method is particularly relevant for conditions such as multiple sclerosis (MS), neuromyelitis optica, and other demyelination disorders resulting from traumatic brain injury, hypoxia, or ischemia.

The claims further elaborate on the structural components of the compounds, specifying various substituents and their permissible variations. For instance, the compounds may include specific halogens, alkyl groups, and functional groups that enhance their therapeutic efficacy. The patent also emphasizes the oral administration of these compounds, providing a comprehensive framework for potential pharmaceutical applications in treating demyelination disorders. The detailed chemical structures and their derivatives aim to facilitate the development of targeted therapies for patients suffering from these debilitating conditions.
