    摘要: Provided is a medicinal use of fingolimod as sphingomyelinase inhibitor in preventing and treating neurodegenerative diseases caused by sphingolipid disorders. Research has shown that fingolimod can effectively alleviate and significantly improve the motion function of spastic paraplegic mice, enable old paraplegic mice to stand again, and increase the number of times paraplegic mice stand. Meanwhile, the present invention can effectively reduce/lower lipofuscin deposition and axonal myelin sheath tear in mouse brain tissue, can significantly alleviate the reduction or deficiency of sphingomyelin, promote the recycling of sphingomyelin, and correct neurological dysfunction caused by sphingolipid disorders that are due to a sphingomyelin deficiency. Further provided is an application of fingolimod in the preparation of a drug for preventing and treating neurodegenerative diseases caused by sphingolipid disorders.

    摘要: This disclosure relates to administration of a combination of: 1) about 100-110 mg, about 104-106 mg, or about 105 mg of bupropion hydrochloride, or a molar equivalent amount of a free base form or another salt form of bupropion; and 2) about 40-50 mg, about 44-46 mg, or about 45 mg of dextromethorphan hydrobromide, or a molar equivalent amount of a free base form or another salt form of dextromethorphan in certain patient populations, such as patients having moderate renal impairment, patients receiving a concomitant strong CYP2D6 inhibitor, patients who are known CYP2D6 poor metabolizers, those in need of an NMDA antagonist that does not cause dissociation, and those at risk of QT prologation.
