Abstract:
Methods and compositions are disclosed utilizing optically pure (−) pantoprazole for the treatment of ulcers in humans while substantially reducing the concomitant liability of adverse effects associated with the racemic mixture of pantoprazole. The optically pure (−) isomer is also useful for the treatment of gastroesophageal reflux. (−) Pantoprazole is an inhibitor of H+ release and is therefore useful in the treatment of other conditions related to gastric hypersecretion such as Zollinger-Ellison Syndrome.
Abstract:
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.
Abstract:
Methods are disclosed utilizing optically pure (+) cetirizine for the treatment of urticaria in humans while avoiding the concomitant liability of adverse effects associated with the racemic mixture of cetirizine.
Abstract:
Methods are disclosed utilizing the optically pure (+) isomer of doxazosin. This compound is a potent drug for the treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia while avoiding the concomitant liability of hypotensive effects associated with the racemic mixture of doxazosin.
Abstract:
Methods are disclosed utilizing the optically pure (+) isomer of cisapride. This compound is useful in treating emesis while substantially reducing adverse effects associated with racemic cisapride.
Abstract:
Methods are disclosed utilizing the optically pure (-) isomer of cisapride. This compound is a potent drug for the treatment of gastro-esophageal reflux disease while substantially reducing the concomitant liability of adverse effects associated with the racemic mixture of cisapride. This compound is also useful in treating or preventing emesis while substantially reducing adverse effects associated with racemic cisapride.
Abstract:
Methods are disclosed utilizing the optically pure (+) isomer of doxazosin. 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 doxazosin.
Abstract:
Certain ethanobicyclic amine compounds are described for treatment of CNS disorders such as psychotic disorders, convulsions, dystonia and cerebral ischemia. Compounds of particular interest are of the formula ##STR1## wherein each of R.sup.1, R.sup.2, R.sup.3, R.sup.4, Y and Z is independently selected from hydrido, hydroxy, alkyl, cycloalkyl, cycloalkylalkyl, phenalkyl, phenyl, alkoxy, phenoxy, phenalkoxy, alkoxyalkyl, halo, haloalkyl and hydroxyalkyl; wherein R.sup.3 and R.sup.4 may be taken together to form oxo;wherein each of R.sup.5, R.sup.6, R.sup.7, R.sup.8, R.sup.9 and R.sup.10 is independently selected from hydrido, alkyl, cycloalkyl, hydroxyalkyl, fluoroalkyl, cycloalkylalkyl, alkoxyalkyl, phenalkyl and phenyl; wherein G within the nitrogen-containing cyclohetero moiety is selected from ##STR2## wherein R.sup.11 is selected from hydrido, alkyl, cycloalkyl, cycloalkylalkyl, phenyl, phenalkyl, alkoxyalkyl and hydroxyalkyl wherein each of R.sup.12 and R.sup.13 is independently selected from hydrido, hydroxy, alkyl, phenalkyl, phenyl, alkoxy, fluoroalkyl and fluoro; wherein m is one or two; wherein p is a number selected from zero through four, inclusive; wherein each of q and r is a number independently selected from one through three, inclusive, with the proviso that sum of q and r is a number from three through six, inclusive; with the further proviso that the nitrogen-containing cyclohetero moiety must be attached at one position selected from R.sup.3, R.sup.4, ring-position two, and ring-position three; or the pharmaceutically-acceptable salts thereof.

Abstract:
Methods and compositions are disclosed utilizing optically pure (-) pantoprazole for the treatment of ulcers in humans while substantially reducing the concomitant liability of adverse effects associated with the racemic mixture of pantoprazole. The optically pure (-) isomer is also useful for the treatment of gastroesophageal reflux. (-) Pantoprazole is an inhibitor of H.sup.+ release and is therefore useful in the treatment of other conditions related to gastric hypersecretion such as Zollinger-Ellison Syndrome.
