Abstract
The present invention relates to new heterocyclic derivatives having an inhibitory activity on calpains and/or a trapping activity on reactive oxygen species, of formula in which A, X, Y, R1, R2 and Het represent variable groups. The invention also relates to their preparation methods, the pharmaceutical preparations containing them and their use for therapeutic purposes, in particular as inhibitors of calpains and/or traps of reactive oxygen species, selectively or non-selectively.
