摘要:
Preparations and extracts of valerian, as well as isovaleramide, isovaleric acid, and its pharmaceutically acceptable salts, esters, and substituted amides, and other valerian-related compounds, in combination with NSAIDs exhibit clinically significant pharmacological properties which implicate a treatment for acute muscular aches, strains, and sprains which occur from a localized, external insult to a particular muscle or muscle group outside of, or peripheral to, the CNS. The compositions in question generally are non-cytotoxic and do not elicit weakness or sedative activity at doses that are effective for the symptomatic treatment of such pathological conditions.
摘要:
The present invention features molecules with general structure (I) or (II) which can modulate on or activities of an inorganic ion receptor. Preferably, the molecule can mimic or block the effect of extracellular Ca 2+ on a calcium receptor. The preferred use of such molecules is to treat diseases or disorders by altering inorganic ion receptor activity, preferably calcium receptor activity.
摘要:
A method of treating a neurologic or neuropsychiatric disorder or disease in a mammal is provided. The method comprises administering a fatty acid amide hydrolase inhibitor in an amount sufficient to inhibit deamidation of a fatty acid amide. A method of identifying a fatty acid amide hydrolase inhibitor useful in the treatment of a neurologic or neuropsychiatric disorder is also provided. A method of identifying a fatty acid amide or fatty acid useful in the treatment of a neurologic or neuropsychiatric disorder is also provided.
摘要:
Method for identifying a compound useful for the therapeutic treatment of a neurological disease or disorder such as stroke, head trauma, spinal cord injury, epilepsy, anxiety, or neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's Disease, Huntington's Disease or Parkinson's Disease,. or useful as a muscle relaxant, analgesic, or adjuvant to general anesthetics. The compounds is active on a receptor-operated calcium channel, including, but not limited to, that present as part of an NMDA receptor-ionophore complex, a calcium-permeable AMPA receptor, or a nicotinic cholinergic receptor, as a noncompetitive antagonist. The method includes identifying a compound which bonds to the receptor-operated calcium channel at the site bound by the arylalkylamines Compound 1, Compound 2 or Compound 3.
摘要:
The present invention features compounds of general formulae a), b), c), able to modulate one or more activities of an inorganic ion receptor and methods for treating diseases or disorders by modulating inorganic ion receptor activity. Preferably, the compound can mimic or block the effect of extacellular Ca 2+ on a calcium receptor.
摘要:
Sustained-release compositions for delivering therapeutic concentrations of isovaleramide, isovaleric acid, and certain structurally related compounds are provided for the treatment for a variety of pathological conditions, including epilepsy and spasticity, which are ameliorated by effecting a modulation of CNS activity. The ability of the compositions to sustain relatively constant levels of the drug at a therapeutic dose in the serum for extended periods of time enables a once or twice daily administration schedule.
