Abstract:
Methods for the prevention, treatment, or management of apnea, apnea disorders, bulimia nervosa, irritable bowel syndrome, urinary incontinence, bradycardia, bradyarrhythmia, syncope, other disorders, or symptoms thereof using (null) norcisapride, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, substantially free of its (null) stereoisomer.
Abstract:
The invention relates to methods of resolving racemic amlodipine into enantiomerically enriched compositions by precipitation with tartaric acid in the presence of a non-aqueous solvent, such as N,Nnull-dimethylacetamide. The molar ratio of tartaric acid:amlodipine is preferably less than 0.25:1.0 or greater than 0.75:1.0.
Abstract:
The invention is directed to compositions comprising, and methods of using, racemic N-desmethylzopiclone, optically pure (null)-N-desmethylzopiclone, and optically pure (null)-N-desmethylzopiclone in the treatment and prevention of diseases and conditions in mammals. The invention is further directed to novel methods of preparing N-desmethylzopiclone, optically pure (null)-N-desmethylzopiclone, and optically pure (null)-N-desmethylzopiclone.
Abstract:
Methods utilizing descarboethoxyloratadine (nullDCLnull) for the treatment of allergic disorders, while avoiding the concomitant liability of adverse side-effects associated with other non-sedating antihistamines. Also included are methods for the treatment of allergic asthma using DCL and either a decongestant or a leukotriene inhibitor, while avoiding the concomitant liability of adverse side-effects associated with other non-sedating antihistamines. The invention also encompasses the administration of DCL in a nasal or oral spray.
Abstract:
Methods and compositions are disclosed utilizing the optically pure (null)-isomer of bupropion to assist in smoking cessation, for treating smoking and nicotine addiction, and for treating pain, including, but not limited to, chronic pain, neuropathetic pain and reflex sympathetic dystrophy, and other disorders such as narcolepsy, chronic fatigue syndrome, fibromyalgia, seasonal affective disorder and premenstrual syndrome, while avoiding adverse affects associated with racemic bupropion.
Abstract:
Methods and compositions are disclosed utilizing optically pure S(null)rabeprazole for the treatment of ulcers in humans while substantially reducing the concomitant liability of adverse effects associated with the racemic mixture of rabeprazole. The optically pure S(null) isomer is also useful for the treatment of gastroesophageal reflux. S(null)rabeprazole is an inhibitor of Hnull release and is therefore useful in the treatment of other conditions related to gastric hypersecretion such as Zollinger-Ellison Syndrome.
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 of preparing, and compositions comprising, derivatives of (null)-venlafaxine are disclosed. Also disclosed are methods of treating and preventing diseases and disorders including, but not limited to, affective disorders such as depression, bipolar and manic disorders, attention deficit disorder, attention deficit disorder with hyperactivity, Parkinson's disease, epilepsy, cerebral function disorders, obesity and weight gain, incontinence, dementia and related disorders.
Abstract:
Methods for treating urinary incontinence, vertigo and motion sickness comprising administering a therapeutically effective amount of descarboethoxyloratadine, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof.
Abstract:
Pharmaceutical compositions which comprises R(null) fluoxetine and one or more other biologically active compounds are disclosed. Methods of treating or preventing a disease or disorder, especially a psychotic or psychiatric disease or disorder, using the above pharmaceutical composition or by administering a R(null) fluoxetine in combination with one or more other biologically active compounds are also disclosed. Methods of treating patients having or at risk of having AIDS or HIV infection, cancer, cardiac disorder, post-myocardial depression and posttraumatic stress disorder using optically pure R(null) fluoxetine in combination with one or more other biologically active compounds are further disclosed.
