  • Patent number: 9187413
    Abstract: Peripherally restricted inhibitors of fatty acid amide hydrolase (FAAH) are provided. The compounds can suppress FAAH activity and increases anandamide levels outside the central nervous system (CNS). Despite their relative inability to access brain and spinal cord, the compounds attenuate behavioral responses indicative of persistent pain in rodent models of inflammation and peripheral nerve injury, and suppresses noxious stimulus-evoked neuronal activation in spinal cord regions implicated in nociceptive processing. CBi receptor blockade prevents these effects. Accordingly, the invention also provides methods, and pharmaceutical compositions for treating conditions in which the inhibition of peripheral FAAH would be of benefit. The compounds of the invention are according to the formula (I): in which R1 is a polar group. In some embodiments, R1 is selected from the group consisting of hydroxy and the physiologically hydro lysable esters thereof.

  • Patent number: 9180128
    Abstract: This invention relates to stable pharmaceutical compositions of 5,10-methylene-(6R)-, -(65)- or -(6R,S)-tetrahydrofolate (MTHF), by adjusting to a basic pH and the simultaneous use of citrate. Stabilisation is effected even in the absence of a reducing agent. The present invention is particularly suitable for producing lyophilisation solutions and lyophilisates or dry powders and dry mixtures, since the stable MTHF solutions can be used in high concentrations for filling corresponding vessels such as vials, ampoules, etc. The lyophilisates have a surprisingly long shelf life and are surprisingly stable. They can be reconstituted without problems by adding water or aqueous solutions, and the final clear injection solutions again exhibit excellent stability properties. Moreover, the present invention even makes it possible to prepare difficultly soluble calcium 15 or acidic salts of MTHF in high concentrations and as physiologically compatible isotonic solutions.
