Abstract:
A method of preparation of a highly pure salt of R,R-formoterol L-tartrate is disclosed. The process provides the most thermodynamically stable polymorph by recrystallization of a novel polymorph.

Abstract:
This invention relates to novel compositions of matter containing enantiomerically enriched (null)-desmethylcitalopram, (null)-didesmethylcitalopram, or (null)-didesmethylcitalopram or mixtures thereof in optimal ratios. Contrary to prior teachings, the enantiomerically enriched citalopram metabolites disclosed herein possess potent serotonin reuptake inhibitory activity, with minimal inhibitory effects on the reuptake of other known monoamines, e.g., norepinephrine (NE) or dopamine (DA). The present invention also discloses methods for treating disorders, dysfunctions and diseases for which inhibition of serotonin reuptake is therapeutically beneficial. In particular, the present invention discloses a method for treating various forms of depression with pharmaceutical compositions described herein.
Abstract:
Carbonates and carbamates of the formula 1 and related steroid carbonates and carbamates are disclosed. The compounds are useful for treating rhinitis and asthma, particularly by inhalation, and for treating inflammation, particularly by local or topical administration.
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.
