  • Patent number: 8546415
    Abstract: N-n-Alkylation of nicotine converts nicotine from an agonist into an antagonist specifically for neuronal nicotinic acetylcholine receptor subtypes mediating nicotine-evoked dopamine release. Conformationally restricted analogs exhibit both high affinity and selectivity at this site, and are able to access the brain due to their ability to act as substrates for the blood-brain barrier choline transporter.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: February 26, 2010
    Date of Patent: October 1, 2013
    Assignee: University of Kentucky Research Foundation
    Inventors: Peter A. Crooks, Linda P. Dwoskin, Joshua Ayers, Vladimir Grinevich, Sangeetha Sumithran

  • Publication number: 20050047997
    Abstract: The present invention pertains to the field of medicine and more precisely relates to a method for diagnosing the action of medical preparations as well as medicating, psycho-corrective, mechanical and physiotherapeutic actions applied on the organism of a patient. This invention may be used in the field of pharmacy as well as in the practice in therapy institutes. After a preliminary study, the method of the present invention comprises selecting a research group and monitoring a group including patients of the same sex and approximately the same age. The patients are applied the therapy to be studied and a monitoring is carried out before drawing the conclusions about efficiency according to the treatment of the disease or the recovery and/or the prevention of a pathological symptom occurrence.
