| 20080242689 | N-ARYL AZASPIROALKENE AND AZASPIROALKANE COMPOUNDS AND METHODS OF PREPARATION AND USE THEREOF - Compounds, pharmaceutical compositions including the compounds, and methods of preparation and use thereof are disclosed. The compounds are N-aryl or heteroaryl azaspiroalkene/alkane compounds, prodrugs or metabolites of these compounds, or pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof. The aryl group can be a phenyl ring or a five- or six-membered heterocyclic ring (heteroaryl). The compounds and compositions can be used to treat and/or prevent a wide variety of conditions or disorders, particularly those disorders characterized by dysfunction of nicotinic cholinergic neurotransmission, including disorders involving neuromodulation of neurotransmitter release, such as dopamine release. CNS disorders, which are characterized by an alteration in normal neurotransmitter release, are another example of disorders that can be treated and/or prevented. The compounds and compositions can also be used to alleviate pain. The compounds can: (i) alter the number of nicotinic cholinergic receptors of the brain of the patient, (ii) exhibit neuroprotective effects and (iii) when employed in effective amounts, not result in appreciable adverse side effects (e.g., side effects such as significant increases in blood pressure and heart rate, significant negative effects upon the gastro-intestinal tract, and significant effects upon skeletal muscle). | 10-02-2008 |
| 20080242693 | Pharmaceutical Compositions and Methods for Relieving Pain and Treating Central Nervous System Disorders - Patients susceptible to or suffering from disorders, such as central nervous system disorders, which are characterized by an alteration in normal neurotransmitter release, such as dopamine release (e.g., Parkinsonism, Parkinson's Disease, Tourette's Syndrome, attention deficient disorder, or schizophrenia), are treated by administering a compound of Formulas 1 or 2, as described herein. The compounds of Formulas 1 and 2 are also useful for treating pain, and treating drug addiction, nicotine addiction, and/or obesity. The compounds can exist as individual stereoisomers, racemic mixtures, diastereomers and the like. | 10-02-2008 |
| 20100081683 | NICOTINIC ACETYLCHOLINE RECEPTOR SUB-TYPE SELECTIVE AMIDES OF DIAZABICYCLOALKANES - Compounds, pharmaceutical compositions including the compounds, and methods of preparation and use thereof are disclosed. The compounds are amide compounds which can be prepared from certain heteoraryl carboxylic acids and certain diazabicycloalkanes. The compounds exhibit selectivity for, and bind with high affinity to, neuronal nicotinic receptors of the a4β2 subtype in the central nervous system (CNS). The compounds and compositions can be used to treat and/or prevent a wide variety of conditions or disorders, particularly CNS disorders. The compounds can: (i) alter the number of nicotinic cholinergic receptors of the brain of the patient, (ii) exhibit neuroprotective effects, and (iii) when employed in effective amounts, not result in appreciable adverse side effects (e.g. side effects such as significant increases in blood pressure and heart rate, significant negative effects upon the gastrointestinal tract, and significant effects upon skeletal muscle). | 04-01-2010 |
| 20100152228 | PHARMACEUTICAL COMPOSITIONS AND METHODS FOR RELIEVING PAIN AND TREATING CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM DISORDERS - Patients susceptible to or suffering from disorders, such as central nervous system disorders, which are characterized by an alteration in normal neurotransmitter release, such as dopamine release (e.g., Parkinsonism, Parkinson's Disease, Tourette's Syndrome, attention deficient disorder, or schizophrenia), are treated by administering a compound of Formulas 1 or 2, as described herein. The compounds of Formulas 1 and 2 are also useful for treating pain, and treating drug addiction, nicotine addiction, and/or obesity. The compounds can exist as individual stereoisomers, racemic mixtures, diastereomers and the like. | 06-17-2010 |
