USE OF AMITIFADINE, (+)-1-(3,4-DICHLOROPHENYL)-3-AZABICYCLO3.1.0HEXANE IN METHODS AND COMPOSITIONS WITH ENHANCED EFFICACY AND REDUCED METABOLIC SIDE EFFECTS AND TOXICITY FOR TREATMENT OF DEPRESSION AND OTHER CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM DISORDERS AND CONDITIONS AFFECTED BY MONOAMINE NEUROTRANSMITTERS

摘要

The present invention relates to (+)-1-(3,4-dichlorophenyl)-3-azabicyclo[3.1.0]hexane and pharmaceutically acceptable active salts, polymorphs, glycosylated derivatives, metabolites, solvates, hydrates, and/or prodrugs of (+)-1-(3,4-dichlorophenyl)-3-azabicyclo[3.1.0]hexane and their use alone or in combination with additional psychotherapeutic compositions in the treatment of conditions affected by monoamine neurotransmitters, including treatment of refractory individuals. (+)-1-(3,4-dichlorophenyl)-3-azabicyclo[3.1.0]hexane compositions are metabolized by either or both MAO-A or cytochrome P450 enzymes and thus are effective in the treatment of individuals with cytochrome P450 polymorphisms or who are taking other medications that affect the cytochrome P450 pathway.
