Abstract: A process for obtaining therapeutically active 2-[4-(3- and 2-(fluorobenzyloxy)benzylamino]propanamides, and their salts with pharmaceutically acceptable acids with high purity degree, in particular, with a content of dibenzyl derivatives impurities lower than 0.03%, preferably lower than 0.01% by weight. The process is carried out by submitting the Schiff bases intermediates 2-[4-(3- and 2-fluorobenzyloxy)benzylideneamino]propanamides to a reduction reaction with a reducing agent selected from sodium borohydride and potassium borohydride in an appropriate amount of an organic solvent selected from C1-C5 lower alkanols, allowing the formation and presence during a substantial position of the reduction reaction course of a suspension of the Schiff base into the saturated solution of the Schiff base into the same organic solvent.

Abstract: The present invention is in the field of pharmacotherapy of cognitive deficits in learning and memory by administering an ?-aminoamide, particularly safinamide. Examples of disturbances in cognition that can be treated with compounds of the invention are the ones associated with disorders such as autism, dyslexia, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, schizophrenia, obsessive compulsive disorders, psychosis, bipolar disorders, depression, Tourette's syndrome, Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) and disorders of learning in children, adolescents and adults, Age Associated Memory Impairment, Age Associated Cognitive Decline, Alzheimer's Disease, Parkinson's Disease, Down's Syndrome, traumatic brain injury Huntington's Disease, Progressive Supranuclear Palsy (PSP), HIV, stroke, vascular diseases, Pick's or Creutzfeldt-Jacob diseases, multiple sclerosis (MS), other white matter disorders and drug-induced cognitive worsening.

Abstract: There is disclosed a pharmaceutical composition comprising gabapentin or an analogue thereof (pregabalin or tiagabine) and an ?-aminoamide and its analgesic use. A synergistic effect of the respective analgesic activities without concomitant increase of side effects was observed.

Abstract: Methods of using certain ?-aminoamide derivatives in the treatment of RLS and addictive disorders, The compounds of this invention are able to reduce or even stop the symptoms of RLS and addictive disorders substantially without side effects.

Abstract: A process for obtaining therapeutically active 2-[4-(3- and 2-(fluorobenzyloxy)benzylamino]-propanamides and their salts with pharmaceutically acceptable acids with a high degree of purity, i.e. with a content of dibenzyl derivatives impurities lower than 0.03% by weight. The process is carried out by submitting a Schiff base intermediate to a reduction reaction with a reducing agent in an amount of organic solvent to allow the formation (and presence during a substantial portion of the reduction reaction) of a suspension of the Schiff base.

Abstract: 2-Phenylethylamino substituted carboxamide derivatives and their use as sodium and/or calcium channel modulators useful in preventing, alleviating and curing a wide range of pathologies are presented.

Abstract: The disclosure relates to pharmacotherapy of a psychiatric disorder which is schizophrenia and/or anxiety, wherein schizophrenia includes schizophrenia related disorders such as brief psychotic disorders, delusional disorders, schizoaffective disorders, and schizophreniform disorders, and anxiety includes panic disorders, obsessive-compulsive disorders (OCD), post-traumatic stress disorders (PTSD), social phobia or social anxiety disorders, specific phobia, and generalized anxiety disorders (GAD). The compounds of the disclosure are useful for the treatment of the above psychiatric disorders alone or in combination with other therapeutical agents effective in the treatment of schizophrenia and/or anxiety disorders.

Abstract: The invention relates to the use of certain alpha-aminoamide derivatives in the treatment of RLS and addictive disorders. The compounds of this invention are able to reduce or even stop the symptoms of RLS and addictive disorders substantially without side effects.
