  • Publication number: 20140271922
    Abstract: The present invention generally relates to the neuroprotective activity of condensed diazepinones, e.g. condensed benzodiazepinones such as pirenzepine or compounds which are metabolized to condensed benzodiazepinones such as olanzapine. These compounds are suitable as co-medicaments for the prevention and/or treatment of drug-induced neurotoxic effects in general and neurotoxic side effects during cancer treatments with cytostatic drugs such as platinum-derivatives, e.g. cis-, carbo- and oxaliplatin, taxanes, bleomycin, cyclophosphamide and vincristine etc. Further, these compounds have an intrinisic anti-cancer activity on their own due to PARP-1 inhibition, which prevents NADH depletion in oxidative metabolism of healthy cells thus preventing the shift to anoxygenic, glycolytic metabolism present in many types of tumour cells thus eliminating this crucial metabolic advantage favouring tumour growth.

    Abstract: The invention provides a method of sustained delivery of a tertiary amine-containing parent drug comprising administering to a patient an effective amount of a prodrug compound of the invention wherein upon administration to the patient, release of the parent drug from the prodrug is sustained release. Prodrug compounds suitable for use in the methods of the invention are labile quaternary ammonium salts of tertiary amine-containing parent drugs (or tertiary imine-containing parent drugs) that are derivatized through aldehyde-linked prodrug moieties that reduce the solubility of the prodrug compound at a reference pH as compared to the parent drug. The physical, chemical and solubility properties of these derivatives can be further modulated by the choice of counterion X?. In one embodiment, the present invention provides a prodrug compound of Formula I: where R1-R5 are defined in the written description of the invention.

  • Patent number: 7973043
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a new method of treatment for persons meeting diagnoses for major depressive disorder, or other unipolar (non-bipolar, non-psychotic and non-treatment resistant) depression. The method comprises administering a combination of two categories of drugs, antipsychotics or dopamine system stabilizers, in combination with a newer antidepressant such as a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor, as initial treatment or as soon as possible. The method targets the prevention of suicide, and provides other benefits including preventing disease progression development of tolerance toward the antidepressants. Another aspect of the invention relates to using the method for alleviating cognitive distortion and related functional impairment or health risks, and/or using the method for smoking cessation or nicotine withdrawal.
