The invention relates to hexahydro-pyrido[1,2-a]pyrazine derivatives having interesting neurokinin-NK1 receptor antagonistic activity. The invention also relates to methods for the preparation of these compounds, to pharmaceutical compositions containing a pharmacologically active amount of at least one of these compounds as an active ingredient, as well as to the use of these compositions for the treatment of disorders in which neurokinin receptors are involved. The invention relates to compounds represented by the general formula (1) wherein the symbols have the meanings as given in the description.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a group of novel piperazine and piperidine derivatives of formula (I), wherein: S1 is hydrogen, halogen, alkyl (1-3C), CN, CF3, OCF3, SCF3, alkoxy (1-3C), amino or mono- or dialkyl (1-3C) substituted amino, or hydroxy; X represents NR3, S, CH2, O, SO or SO2, wherein R3 is H or alkyl (1-3C); . . . Z represents ═C or —N; —R1 independently represent H or alkyl (1-3C), or R1 and R2 together can form a bridge 2 or 3 C-atoms; R4 is hydrogen or alkyl (1-3C); Q is methyl, ethyl, ethyl substituted with one or more fluorine atoms, cyclopropyl—methyl, optionally substituted with one or more fluorine atoms, and salts and prodrugs thereof. It has been found that these compounds have both partial dopamine D2-receptor agonism and partial serotonin 5-HT1A-receptor agonism mediated activities.
Abstract:
The invention is related to an iontophoretic method for the delivery of a compound of the formula wherein R is defined herein, and pharmaceutically acceptable salts and prodrugs thereof; and, wherein the method comprises: (a) applying a transdermal device to the skin of a living body, wherein the transdermal device has a reservoir containing the compound of formula I or a composition thereof and optionally a pharmaceutically acceptable electrolyte; (b) causing current to flow through the skin so as to iontophoretically deliver the compound of formula I. The invention is further related to iontophoretic systems and to kits containing the iontophoretic system combined with one or more cartridges containing a compound of formula I, and to cartridges containing a compound of formula I.
Abstract:
The present invention is directed to compositions, kits, and methods for a titration schedule to facilitate the treatment of a central nervous system condition or disorder by administering a plurality of dosage units of a composition comprising a compound 7-(4-methyl)-1-piperazinyl-2(3H)-benzoxazolone (INN pardoprunox).
Abstract:
The invention relates to a group of novel piperazine and piperidine derivatives of the formula wherein Y is hydrogen, halogen, alkyl (1-3C), or CN, CF3, OCF3, SCF3, alkoxy(1-3C), amino or mono- or dialkyl(1-3C) substituted amino or hydroxy, X is O, S, SO or SO2, —Z represents —C, ═C or —N, R1 and R2 independently represent hydrogen or alkyl (1-3C), Q is benzyl or 2-, 3- or 4-pyridylmethyl, wich groups may be substited with one or more more substituents from the group halogen, nitro, cyano, amino, mono- or di (1-3C)alkylamino, (1-3C) alkoxy, CF3, OCF3, SCF3, (1-4C)-alkyl, (1-3C)alkylsulfonyl or hydroxy, and salts and prodrugs thereof. It has been found that these compounds have interesting pharmacological properties due to a combination of (partial) agonism towards the members of the dopamine D2-receptor subfamily and affinity for relevant serotonin and/or noradrenergic receptors

Abstract:
The present invention relates to a vaccine containing at least one particulate immunogen and an adjuvanting amount of B subunits of heat-labile enterotoxin characteristic of E. Coli. More in particular, this invention relates to vaccines wherein the adjuvanting LTB is free from contaminating A subunits or holotoxin. To this end, preferably, use is made of LTB prepared by recombinant DNA techniques. The particulate immunogens can relate to or can be derived from e.g. viruses, bacteria or fungi. This vaccine is particularly suitable for the induction of a protective response against said particulate immunogen upon mucosal (e.g. intra-nasal) administration. It was found that such administration results in both systemic and mucosal protection against the pathogen to which the particulate immunogen relates.
