  • Publication number: 20040228907
    Abstract: Methods and pharmaceutical compositions for using desmethylselegiline. In particular, the present invention provides novel compositions and methods for using desmethylselegiline for selegiline-responsive diseases and conditions. Diseases and conditions responsive to selegiline include those produced by neuronal degeneration or neuronal trauma and those due to immune system dysfunction. Desmethylselegiline is the R-(−) enantiomer of N-methyl-N-(prop-2-ynyl)-2-aminophenylpropane. Claimed compositions include both the R-(−) isomer and mixtures of the R-(−) and S(+) isomers. Pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salts may also be used. Effective dosages are a daily dose of at least about 0.015 mg/kg of body weight.

  • Publication number: 20030191191
    Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to methods for alleviating the symptoms associated with peripheral neuropathy by administering R(−)-desmethylselegiline, S(+) desmethylselegiline, or a combination of the two. The neuropathy may be the result of a genetically inherited condition, a systemic disease, or exposure to a toxic agent. The disclosure is also directed to a method for treating patients with cancer by administering a chemotherapeutic agent known to have a toxic affect on peripheral nerves together with R(−)-desmethylselegiline, S(+) desmethylselegiline, or a mixture of the two.
