Abstract: This document relates to compounds as well as methods and materials involved in modulating neurotransmitter reuptake. For example, compounds, methods for synthesizing compounds, and methods for inhibiting neurotransmitter reuptake are provided. Specifically gamma-amino alcohol derivatives that inhibit the reuptake of neurotransmitters such as dopamine, serotonin, epinephrine or norepinephrine are provided as therapeutic agents for the treatment of depression or anxiety in a mammalian subject.

Abstract: A method for administering an ocular analgesic is described. The method includes the steps of providing a topical analgesic that includes a neo-tryptophan-containing neurotensin analog and applying the topical analgesic to the ocular tissue in a dose of about 0.0001 to about 5 mg, alternatively about 0.0001 to about 3 mg, alternatively about 0.0005 to about 1.2 mg, alternatively about 0.0005 to about 1.0 mg, alternatively about 0.00075 to about 1.0 mg, alternatively about 0.001 mg to about 1.0 mg, alternatively about 0.001 mg to about 0.8 mg, alternatively about 0.001 mg to about 0.7 mg, alternatively about 0.001 mg to about 0.6 mg. Methods of administering a topical analgesic containing a neo-tryptophan-containing neurotensin analog are also described. The topical analgesic can be administered in a patch, gel, lotion, spray, or mist.

Abstract: Ocular analgesics for topical administration are described. The topical ocular analgesic includes a neo-tryptophan-containing neurotensin analog. The topical ocular analgesic may alternatively include a buffered salt solution, a local anesthetic solution, a tissue penetrating agent, and/or an opiate. The neo-tryptophan-containing neurotensin analog may be present in a dose of about 0.0005 to about 1.2 mg.

Abstract: Methods of inducing antinociception in a human are described. The method includes the step of administering an effective dose of a polypeptide comprising L-neo-tryptophan to the human extracranially. The polypeptide containing L-neo-tryptophan could be, but is not limited to, NT64L, NT65L, NT66L, NT67L, NT69L, NT69L?, NT71, NT72, NT73, NT74, NT75, NT76, or NT77.

Abstract: This document provides methods and materials for treating pain. For example, this document provides methods that involve administering a neurotensin receptor (NTR) agonist and an opioid receptor agonist to a mammal (e.g., a human). Compositions containing an NTR agonist in combination with an opioid receptor agonist also are provided.

Abstract: Neurotensin analogs selective for neurotensin receptor subtype 2 are described. These include hexapeptides (NT(8-13)) and pentapeptides (NT(9-13)) having a D-3,1-naphthyl-alanine, D-3,2-naphthyl-alanine, an alanine derivative such as cyclohexylalanine, or 1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinoline at position 11. Methods of treating pain by administering these neurotensin analogs are also described.
