The alkalizer is a reagent to reduce the acidity of the mixture of the alkalizer and the medicated acid liquid relative to the acidity of the medicated acid liquid. The preparation method avoids the problems in mechanical pulverization, such as environmental pollution, great loss and serious security risks. This method is simply operated, has high safety coefficient and is convenient for industrialized production. Also disclosed is the solid preparation produced by the method. The solid preparation produced by the method has better dissolution performance than that produced by prior art, and has better or at least equivalent stability and content uniformity with prior art.

    Abstract: Behavioral pharmacological data with the compound of formula (I), a novel and selective 5HT2A/2C receptor inverse agonist, demonstrate in vivo efficacy in models of psychosis and dyskinesias. This includes activity in reversing MK-801 induced locomotor behaviors, suggesting that this compound may be an efficacious anti-psychotic, and activity in an MPTP primate model of dyskinesias, suggesting efficacy as an anti-dyskinesia agent. These data support the hypothesis that 5HT2A/2C receptor inverse agonism may confer antipsychotic and anti-dyskinetic efficacy in humans, and indicate a use of the compound of formula (I) and related agents as novel therapeutics for Parkinson's Disease, related human neurodegenerative diseases, and psychosis.
