  • Publication number: 20110005534
    Abstract: Reduced risk tobacco-related products and methods of use. These tobacco-related products (e.g., cigarettes or filters) are designed to reduce the biological insult, for example, DSBs, cell death or perturbation of RNA transcriptome or proteome as compared to the amount of biological insult induced by another cigarette, such as a conventional or reference cigarette (e.g., 2R4F), in human cells, and to provide a reduced risk cigarette that meets a cigarette smoker's sensory/perception needs.
    Type: Application
    Filed: February 24, 2010
    Publication date: January 13, 2011
    Applicant: VECTOR TOBACCO, INC.
    Inventors: Anthony P. Albino, Gregory Andrew Sulin, Richard L. Coyte, Thomas Jeffrey Clark, Patrick Rainey, Gene Gillman

  • Patent number: 7022706
    Abstract: Pharmaceutical compositions incorporate compounds that are capable of affecting nicotinic cholinergic receptors. A wide variety of conditions and disorders, and particularly conditions and disorders associated with dysfunction of the central and autonomic nervous systems can be treated using pharmaceutical compositions incorporating compounds in which an aromatic ring is bridged with an ethylenic or acetylenic unit to an azabicyclic moiety.

  • Patent number: 6852721
    Abstract: The present invention relates to diazabicyclic compounds, preferably to N-aryl diazabicyclic compounds. Of particular interest are 2-pyridinyl diazabicyclic compounds, such as (1S,4S)-2-(5-(3-methoxyphenoxy)-3-pyridyl)-2,5-diazabicyclo[2.2.1]heptane. Other exemplary compounds of the present invention include (1S,4S)-2-(5-(4-methoxyphenoxy)-3-pyridyl)-2,5-diazabicyclo[2.2.1]heptane, (1S,4S)-2-(5-(3-thienyl)-3-pyridyl)-2,5-diazabicyclo[2.2.1]heptane, (1S,4S)-2-(5-(4-fluorophenoxy)-3-pyridyl)-2,5-diazabicyclo[2.2.1]heptane, and (1S,4S)-2-(5-benzoyl-3-pyridyl)-2,5-diazabicyclo[2.2.1]heptane. The present invention also relates to prodrug derivatives of the compounds of the present invention.
