摘要:
Compositons employing and methods utilizing the optically pure (null) isomer of norcisapride are disclosed. This compound has surprisingly been found to be a potent drug for the treatment of disorders of the central nervous system. The compound, (null) norcisapride, has also been found to be a potent antiemetic agent. Finally, the (null) isomer of norcisapride also avoids certain adverse side effects and certain adverse drug interactions.
摘要:

摘要:
Methods and compositions are disclosed utilizing metabolic derivatives of astemizole for the treatment of allergic disorders while avoiding the concomitant liability of adverse effects associated with the astemizole. The metabolic derivatives of astemizole are also useful for the treatment of retinopathy and other small vessel disorders associated with diabetes mellitus and such other conditions as may be related to the antihistamine activity of astemizole. For example, the metabolic derivatives of astemizole are useful for the treatment of asthma, motion sickness, and vertigo, without the concomitant liability of adverse effects associated with astemizole. Furthermore, the metabolic derivatives of astemizole, in combination with non-steroidal anti-inflammatory agents or other non-narcotic analgesics, or in combination with a decongestant, cough suppressant/antitussive or expectorant, are useful for the treatment of cough, cold, cold-like, and/or flu symptoms and the discomfort, headache, pain, fever, and general malaise associated therewith, without the concomitant liability of adverse effects associated with astemizole.
摘要:
Methods are disclosed utilizing the optically pure (-) 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 (-) isomer of amlodipine is also useful for the treatment of angina without the concomitant liability of adverse effects associated with the racemic mixture of amlodipine.
摘要:
The invention relates to methods of utilizing descarboethoxyloratadine ("DCL") for the treatment of dermatitis. The invention also encompasses the topical administration of descarboethoxyloratadine using various dosage forms for the treatment of dermatitis.
摘要:
Methods and compositions are disclosed utilizing the optically pure R(+) isomer of ondansetron. This compound is a potent drug for the treatment of nausea and vomiting associated with chemotherapy and radiation therapy, while avoiding the concomitant liability of adverse effects associated with the racemic mixture of ondansetron. The R(+) isomer of ondansetron is also useful for the treatment of behavioral disorders such as mood anxiety and schizophrenia, and such other conditions as may be related to R(+) ondansetron's activity as a competitive antagonist of serotonin receptor subtype 5-HT.sub.3 such as disorders of gastrointestinal motility, depression, migraine, and as an aid for alcohol withdrawal, nicotine withdrawal, and drug (benzodiazepine et al.) withdrawal, without the concomitant liability of adverse effects associated with the racemic mixture of ondansetron. Furthermore, the R(+) isomer of ondansetron is also useful for the treatment of cognitive disorders such as dementia or age-associated memory impairment, while avoiding the concomitant liability of adverse effects associated with the racemic mixture of ondansetron.
摘要:
Methods are disclosed utilizing the optically pure (+) isomer of cisapride. The optically pure (+) isomer of cisapride is useful for the treatment of dyspepsia and such other conditions as may be related to the activity of (+) cisapride as a prokinetic agent, such as gastroparesis, constipation, post-operative operative ileus, and intestinal pseudo-obstruction, without the concomitant liability of adverse effects associated with the racemic mixture of cisapride. The (+) isomer of cisapride also exhibits longer duration of action than does racemic cisapride and is useful for treatment of disorders of the central nervous system.
