The invention relates to the use of phthalazine derivatives as inhibitors of the enzyme poly(ADP-ribose)polymerase or PARP (EC 2.4.2.30), and to their use as inhibitors of PARP-homologous enzymes. These phthalazine derivatives also exhibit, in particular, a selective inhibition of the PARP-homologous enzymes. The inventive phthalazine derivatives are used for producing medicaments used in the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, stroke, cerebral trauma, epilepsy, damages to the kidney, cardiovascular diseases, tumors, rheumatic diseases, diabetes mellitus, etc. |
