USE OF (S) (-)-AMISULPRIDE FOR THE MANUFACTURE OF A MEDICAMENT FOR THE TREATMENT OF SCHIZOPHRENIA

摘要

A composition is provided comprising an antipsychotic effective amount of (S)(-)-amisulpride, (S)-(-)-4-amino-N-[(1-ethylpyrrolidin-2-yl)methyl]-5-ethylsulfonyl)-2-methoxybenzamide. A preferred composition comprises the (D)-tartrate salt of (S)(-)-amisulpride. The (S)(-) enantiomer exhibits antipsychotic properties and administration of the specific enantiomer reduces adverse side effects by reducing toxicity.
