BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Nearly all life forms require iron as a micronutrient. However, the low solubility of Fe(III) hydroxide (K.sub.sp=1.times.10.sup.-39) (Raymond et al., "Coordination Chemistry and Microbial Iron Transport." Acc. Chem. Res. 1979, 12, 183-190), the predominant form of the
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Neurogenesis occurs in the developing and adult brain. Conceptually, this process of neurogenesis can be divided into four steps: (i) proliferation of NSCs; (ii) neuronal fate determination of NSC; (iii) survival and maturation of new neurons; and (iv) functional
CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS
This application is a continuation of International Application No. PCT/EP2014/066123 having an international filing date of Jul. 28, 2014 and which claims benefit under 35 U.S.C. .sctn.119 to European Patent Application No. 13178373.0 filed Jul. 29, 2013. The
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Now it has been shown that the present compounds stimulate neurogenesis from neural stem cells (NSCs). Neurogenesis occurs in the developing and adult brain. Conceptually, this process of neurogenesis can be divided into four steps: (i) proliferation of NSCs; (ii)
