摘要:
A method for treatment of the symptoms of neurologic dysfunctions, including major depression, an autism spectrum disorder (ASD), and schizophrenia. The patient is administered an amount of a compound that increases the catalytic activity of MAO-A. The effective compound is preferably reserpine, administered in a dosage of less than about 0.03 mg per day. The reserpine may be administered topically or transdermally at a dosage in the range from about 0.002 mg per day to about 0.02 mg per day.
摘要:
A method for treating Alzheimer's Disease (AD) or Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) by administering at least one alky ester of imidazolecarboxylc acid, preferably methyl 4-imidazolecarboxylate. It is hypothesized that the treatment counters AD/ASD by maintaining the intracellular/extracellular osmolyte gradient in the central nervous system (CNS) within a substantially normal range. The methyl 4-imidazolecarboxylate may be administered orally, by inhaler, by injection or by transdermal application. When administered by transdermal application, the dosage range may be from about 0.01 mcg per day to about 3.0 mcg per day, preferably from about 0.1 mcg per day to about 0.3 mcg per day.
