Non-limiting examples of such agonist include the compounds of Formulas I, II, III, and IV, as well as the compounds of Table A.

Provided are compounds of Formula I, or pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof, and methods for their use as Nrf2 activators and for their production. ##STR00001##

This invention is in the field of medicinal chemistry. In particular, the invention relates to a new class of small-molecules having a phenyl-sulfonic amide (or similar) structure which function as agonists of mucolipin 1 (ML1), and their use as therapeutics for the treatment of Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) and related disorders.

Provided are compounds that are inhibitors of both rho kinase and of a monoamine transporter (MAT) act to improve the disease state or condition. Further provided are compositions comprising the compounds. Further provided are methods for treating diseases or conditions, the methods comprising administering compounds according to the invention. One such disease may be glaucoma for which, among other beneficial effects, a marked reduction in intraocular pressure (IOP) may be achieved.
