  • Patent number: 9925179
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of decreasing cholesterol or low density lipid protein in a subject in need thereof comprising: administering to said subject a pharmaceutically effective amount of a composition comprising dextromethorphan. The present invention also relates to a method of treating a subject suffered from bipolar II disorder, comprising administering to said subject a therapeutically effective amount of valproic acid and a combination of dextromethorphan and memantine, wherein the dose of dextromethorphan or memantine is a low dose not sufficient to work as a N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor antagonist. The present invention further relates to a composition for treating bipolar II disorder, which comprises valproic acid and a combination of dextromethorphan and memantine, wherein the dose of dextromethorphan or memantine is a low dose not sufficient to work as a N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor antagonist.

  • Publication number: 20090253803
    Abstract: This invention discloses that memantine (MMT) protects dopamine (DA) neurons damage through its potent anti-inflammatory effect by inhibiting microglial over-activation and the protection on DA neuron is a dose-dependent response under an effective amount of lower than 10 mg/kg. This invention also discloses that NADPH oxidase plays a critical role of neuroprotection of MMT and MMT therapy for neurodegeneration diseases and disorder acts in part through an alternative novel mechanism by reducing microglia-associated inflammation. In addition, this invention reveals that MMT is neurotrophic to DA neurons through the release of neurotrophic factors from astroglia.
