The present invention relates to compounds for stabilising the native tetrameric form of transthyretin and protecting it from proteolytic cleavage; compounds for use in the prevention and treatment of transthyretin amyloidosis; and agents and medicaments comprising such compounds. The compounds are based on a general structure A-L-B, wherein A is a group of formula (II) or of formula (III): or of formula (IV) or of formula (V) B is a group of formula (III), (IV), or (V), or a group of formula (VI) or a group of formula —R10Z, wherein: Z is selected from —CO2R′, —CONR′R″, —SO2R′ wherein R′ and R″ are independently H or C1-C4 alkyl; and R10 is a C1-C4 alkylene or alkenylene group; and L represents a linker group which is a saturated or unsaturated chain of 5 to 13 carbon atoms.

One aspect of the invention provides a composition of novel high penetration compositions (HPC) or a high penetration prodrug (HPP) for treatment of Parkinson's disease. The HPCs/HPPs are capable of being converted to parent active drugs or drug metabolites after crossing the biological barrier and thus can render treatments for the conditions that the parent drugs or metabolites can. Additionally, the HPPs are capable of reaching areas that parent drugs may not be able to access or to render a sufficient concentration at the target areas and therefore render novel treatments. The HPCs/HPPs can be administered to a subject through various administration routes, e.g., locally delivered to an action site of a condition with a high concentration or systematically administered to a biological subject and enter the general circulation with a faster rate.
