Compounds are provided that function as thyromimetics, which compounds have utility for treating diseases such as neurodegenerative disorders. Pharmaceutical compositions containing such compounds are also provided, as are methods of their use and preparation. Such compounds have the structure of Formula (I) as shown herein, or a pharmaceutically acceptable isomer, racemate, hydrate, solvate, isotope or salt thereof.

The present invention relates to: a disubstituted adamantyl derivative or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, and an anticancer pharmaceutical composition and a kit containing same as an active ingredient. The disubstituted adamantyl derivative according to the present invention suppresses the growth of cancer cells by targeting mitochondria ETC complex I and damaging the metabolism of cancer cells, and thus can be useful as an anticancer pharmaceutical composition that is a powerful therapeutic agent for cancer dependent on oxidative phosphorylation for producing ATP.

Disclosed herein are compounds for activating the Reelin signaling system for the treatment of neurological disorders Further provided are compounds and methods for activating a lipoprotein receptor, such as ApoER2 or VLDLR.

Described herein are methods of enhancing formation and/or growth of an adventitious root in a plant and/or plant tissue, and/or for promoting grafting unification, enhancing fruit size and/or reducing flowering in a plant. The method comprises contacting at least a portion of the plant and/or plant tissue with a compound having Formula I:

##STR00001##

wherein X, Y and R.sub.1-R.sub.7 are as defined herein. Further described are compositions for enhancing formation and/or growth of an adventitious root in a plant and/or plant tissue, and/or for promoting grafting unification, enhancing fruit size and/or reducing flowering in a plant, comprising the abovementioned compound and a horticulturally acceptable carrier. Novel compounds having Formula I are also described herein.

The present invention relates to a compound, or a dimer or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or solvate of said compound or dimer, for use in a method for the treatment of a disease, disorder or condition caused by an RNA virus, said compound having the general structure shown in Formula (I).
