Abstract: The present invention relates to the use of amitriptyline as an inhibitor of connexin hemichannels (HC) in the Central Nervous System (CNS). This HC-blocking agent is advantageously used to treat disorders involving misregulated HC (notably neuropathic pain, neurodegenerative disorders, ischemic brain injury and inflammatory intestinal conditions). Additionally, the invention provides a method to enhance the therapeutic effect of amitriptyline for its common indications. The method of the invention involves combining amitriptyline with another HC-blocking agent, mefloquine.

Abstract: The invention first relates to a product containing at least one connexin-blocking agent and a psychotropic drug as combination products for use simultaneously, separately, or spread over time in patients suffering from psychiatric and/or neurodegenerative disorders. The connexin-blocking agent is advantageously selected from the group comprising meclofenamic acid, 18-?-glycyrrhetinic acid, carbenoxolone, mefloquine, and 2-APB, and preferably consists of meclofenamic acid.

Abstract: This invention relates to improvements in therapeutic neurological and neuropsychic treatments using acetylcholinesterase inhibitors. More specifically, the invention enables the effects of the reversible acetylcholinesterase inhibitor donepezil to be potentiated by certain molecules, referred to here as connexin-blocking agents. Said connexin-blocking agent is preferably meclofenamic acid.

Abstract: The present invention relates to the use of flecainide as an anti-connexin agent. This anti-connexin agent is advantageously used to potentiate the therapeutic effect of various psychotropic drugs. More specifically, the invention provides a combination product containing flecainide and modafinil.
