Abstract
A method of treating neurological diseases, like Alzheimer's Disease by administering a compound that activates protein kinase C and inhibits histone deacetylases to an individual suffering from the neurological disease. The method utilizes benzolactam compounds that reduce Aβ production and blocks oxidative stress in the treatment of Alzheimer's disease. The benzolactam compounds and compositions containing the benzolactam compounds also are disclosed.
