Abstract:
Methods are disclosed for the treatment and prevention of disorders and conditions including, but are not limited to, erectile dysfunction, affective disorders, weight gain, cerebral functional disorders, pain, obsessive-compulsive disorder, substance abuse, chronic disorders, anxiety, eating disorders, migraines, and incontinence. The methods comprise the administration of a dopamine reuptake inhibitor and optionally an additional pharmacologically active compound. Pharmaceutical compositions and dosage forms are also disclosed that comprise a dopamine reuptake inhibitor and optionally an additional pharmacologically active compound. Preferred dopamine reuptake inhibitors are racemic or optically pure sibutramine metabolites and pharmaceutically acceptable salts, solvates, and clathrates thereof. Preferred additional pharmacologically active compounds include drugs that affect the central nervous system, such as 5-HT3 antagonists.
Abstract:
Methods and pharmaceutical compositions employing (null) cetirizine, (null) cetirizine, or racemic cetirizine, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, and a leukotriene inhibitor, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, or decongestant for the treatment, management, and/or prevention of inflammation, asthma or symptoms thereof, allergic disorders such as allergic rhinitis, and dermatitis.
Abstract:
The invention relates to methods and compositions for the prevention, treatment, or management of gastrointestinal disorders or symptoms thereof, employing two or more agents or compounds to provide a triple site action on 5-HT3 receptors, 5-HT4 receptors, and at least one of H2 receptors and proton pumps.

Abstract:
Methods and compositions are disclosed utilizing N-desmethylolanzapine for the treatment of psychosis in humans. N-Desmethylolanzapine exhibits a lessened liability toward drug-drug interactions than olanzapine and a more predictable dosing regimen than olanzapine. N-Desmethylolanzapine is also useful for the treatment of acute mania, mild anxiety states, anxiety disorders, schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, autistic disorder, excessive aggression, substance abuse, depressive signs and symptoms, tic disorder, functional bowel disorder and fungal dermatitis.
Abstract:
Methods and compositions are disclosed utilizing olanzapine-N-oxide for the treatment of psychosis in humans. Olanzapine-N-oxide exhibits a lessened liability toward drug-drug interactions than olanzapine and a more predictable dosing regimen than olanzapine. Olanzapine-N-oxide is also useful for the treatment of acute mania, mild anxiety states, anxiety disorders, schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, autistic disorder, excessive aggression, substance abuse, depressive signs and symptoms, tic disorder, functional bowel disorder and fungal dermatitis.
Abstract:
Methods and compositions are disclosed utilizing the optically pure (null)-isomer of bupropion, which is a potent drug for treating depression, Parkinson's disease, obesity, weight gain and other disorders.
Abstract:
A method of preparation of a highly pure salt of R,R-formoterol L-tartrate is disclosed. The process provides the most thermodynamically stable polymorph by recrystallization of a novel polymorph.
Abstract:
Methods are disclosed for the treatment and prevention of disorders and conditions such as, but are not limited to: eating disorders; weight gain; obesity; irritable bowel syndrome; obsessive-compulsive disorders; platelet adhesion; apnea; affective disorders such as attention deficit disorders, depression, and anxiety; male and female sexual function disorders; restless leg syndrome; osteoarthritis; substance abuse including nicotine and cocaine addiction; narcolepsy; pain such as neuropathic pain, diabetic neuropathy, and chronic pain; migraines; cerebral function disorders; chronic disorders such as premenstrual syndrome; and incontinence. Pharmaceutical compositions and dosage forms are also disclosed which comprise a racemic or optically pure sibutramine metabolite and an optional additional pharmacologically active compound.
Abstract:
Treatment of CNS disorders with (1R,4S)-trans 4-(3,4-dichlorophenyl)-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-1-napthalenamine; and (1S,4R)-trans 4-(3,4-dichlorophenyl)-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-1-napthalenamine is disclosed. A process for preparing 4-(3,4-dichlorophenyl)-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-1-napthalenamine is also disclosed. The process includes the preparation of all four isomers of N-null4-(3,4-dichlorophenyl)-1,2,3,4-tetrahydronaphthalen-1-ylnullformamide, which are also useful.
