Abstract:
Methods and compositions are disclosed utilizing the optically pure (null)-isomer of bupropion to assist in smoking cessation, for treating smoking and nicotine addiction, and for treating pain, including, but not limited to, chronic pain, neuropathetic pain and reflex sympathetic dystrophy, and other disorders such as narcolepsy, chronic fatigue syndrome, fibromyalgia, seasonal affective disorder and premenstrual syndrome, while avoiding adverse affects associated with racemic bupropion.
Abstract:
Methods and compositions are disclosed utilizing optically pure S(null)rabeprazole for the treatment of ulcers in humans while substantially reducing the concomitant liability of adverse effects associated with the racemic mixture of rabeprazole. The optically pure S(null) isomer is also useful for the treatment of gastroesophageal reflux. S(null)rabeprazole is an inhibitor of Hnull release and is therefore useful in the treatment of other conditions related to gastric hypersecretion such as Zollinger-Ellison Syndrome.
Abstract:
The invention is directed to compositions comprising, and methods of using, racemic N-desmethylzopiclone, optically pure (null)-N-desmethylzopiclone, and optically pure (null)-N-desmethylzopiclone in the treatment and prevention of diseases and conditions in mammals. The invention is further directed to novel methods of preparing N-desmethylzopiclone, optically pure (null)-N-desmethylzopiclone, and optically pure (null)-N-desmethylzopiclone.
Abstract:
The R-isomer of the hydroxy metabolite of nefazodone, R-hydroxynefazodone, is an effective treatment for depression which does not give rise to the adverse effects associated with nefazodone. R-hydroxynefazodone is also useful in the treatment of migraine headaches, panic disorders, post traumatic stress disorder and sleep disorders.
Abstract:
The invention is directed to compositions comprising, and methods of using, racemic N-desmethylzopiclone, optically pure (null)-N-desmethylzopiclone, and optically pure (null)-N-desmethylzopiclone in the treatment and prevention of diseases and conditions in mammals. The invention is further directed to novel methods of preparing N-desmethylzopiclone, optically pure (null)-N-desmethylzopiclone, and optically pure (null)-N-desmethylzopiclone.
Abstract:
Methods and compositions are disclosed utilizing optically pure (null) lansoprazole for the treatment of S ulcers in humans while substantially reducing the concomitant liability of adverse effects associated with the racemic mixture of lansoprazole. The optically pure (null) isomer is also useful for the treatment of gastroesophageal reflux. (null) Lansoprazole is an inhibitor of Hnull release and is therefore useful in the treatment of other conditions related to gastric hypersecretion such as Zollinger-Ellison Syndrome.
Abstract:
Methods and pharmaceutical compositions employing (null) cetirizine, (null) cetirizine, or racemic cetirizine, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, and a leukotriene inhibitor, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, or decongestant for the treatment, management, and/or prevention of inflammation, asthma or symptoms thereof, allergic disorders such as allergic rhinitis, and dermatitis.
Abstract:
The invention relates to methods and compositions for the prevention, treatment, or management of gastrointestinal disorders or symptoms thereof, employing two or more agents or compounds to provide a triple site action on 5-HT3 receptors, 5-HT4 receptors, and at least one of H2 receptors and proton pumps.

Abstract:
Methods for the treatment, management, or prevention of apnea and apnea disorders, or symptoms thereof, using a therapeutically effective amount of substantially optically pure R(null) ondansetron, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, substantially free of its S(null) stereoisomer
