Abstract:
A method and composition are disclosed utilizing the pure (R,R) isomer of formoterol, which is a potent bronchodilator with reduced adverse effects, a low incidence of the development of tolerance and an increased duration of action, as compared to racemic formoterol.
Abstract:
Methods and compositions are disclosed utilizing the optically pure (null) isomer of amlodipine. This compound is a potent drug for the treatment of hypertension while avoiding the concomitant liability of adverse effects associated with the racemic mixture of amlodipine. The (null) isomer of amlodipine is also useful for the treatment of angina and such other conditions as may be related to the activity of (null) amlodipine as a calcium channel antagonist such as cerebral ischemia, cerebral disorders, arrhythmias, cardiac hypertrophy, coronary vasospasm, myocardial infarction, renal impairment and acute renal failure, without the concomitant liability of adverse effects associated with the racemic mixture of amlodipine.

Abstract:
Methods for the treatment, management, or prevention of apnea and apnea disorders, or symptoms thereof, using a therapeutically effective amount of substantially optically pure R(null) ondansetron, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, substantially free of its S(null) stereoisomer
Abstract:
Methods of treating neuropathic pain, tinnitus, and related disorders are disclosed. These methods comprise the administration of optically pure R(null)-ketoprofen. Also disclosed are pharmaceutical compositions useful in the treatment of neuropathic pain and tinnitus which comprise optically pure R(null)-ketoprofen.

Abstract:
Improved use of selective null2 sympathomimetic bronchodilator drugs in the therapy of obstructive or inflammatory airways disease, e.g. asthma, comprises use in enantiomeric rather than conventional racemic form. The improved use reduces occurrence of side effect, e.g. exacerbation of basal disease status or compromise or deterioration of lung function.
