  • Patent number: 7655699
    Abstract: Compounds, compositions, and methods for modulating processes mediated by Retinoid X Receptors using retinoid-like compounds which have activity selective for members of the subclass of Retinoid X Receptors (RXRs), in preference to members of the subclass of Retinoic Acid Receptors (RARs). Examples of such compounds are bicyclic benzyl, pyridinyl, thiophene, furanyl, pyrrole, and polyenoic acid derivatives including carbocyclic polyenoic acids. The disclosed methods employ compounds for modulating processes selectively mediated by Retinoid X Receptors.

  • Publication number: 20080081830
    Abstract: The invention is directed to the use of a pharmaceutical composition comprising an effective amount of zonisamide or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof to treat tremors, such as rest tremors or action tremors. Tremors may include kinetic tremor, essential tremor, severe essential tremor, postural tremor, drug-induced tremor, toxic tremor, primary orthostatic tremor, dystonic tremor, neuropathic tremor, and cerebellar tremor. The use of zonisamide in the methods of the invention reduce adverse side effects of other drugs that are used to treat tremors. Zonisamide or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof can also be used in conjunction with other therapeutic agents commonly used to treat tremors, thus enhancing the therapeutic effect of treating tremors.

  • Patent number: 7273884
    Abstract: The present invention is directed to a method of treating action tremor or severe essential tremor. Action tremor includes essential tremor, postural tremor, drug-induced or toxic tremor, primary orthostatic tremor, dystonic tremor, neuropathic tremor, and cerebellar tremor. The method comprises administering to a subject a pharmaceutical composition comprising an effective amount of zonisamide, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof. The methods of the present invention are useful in reducing symptoms of tremor. The compounds of the present method can also be used in conjunction with other therapeutic agents commonly used to treat tremor thus enhancing the therapeutic effect of treating tremor.
