Phenyl cyclohexanone based active agents, pharmaceutical preparations containing such active agents, methods of modifying cellular activity by contacting cells with such active agents, and methods of treating various conditions by administering such active agents to a patient are described.

Phenyl cyclohexanone derivatives and methods of making and using them

This disclosure concerns the discovery of the use of fenoterol analogues for regulating cannabinoid (CB) receptor activity-related disorders and disease, such as dysregulated CB receptors, including treating a disorder or disease, such as a glioblastoma, hepatocellular carcinoma, liver cancer, colon cancer, and/or lung cancer, which is associated with altered cannabinoid receptor activity. In one example, the method includes administering to a subject having or at risk of developing a disorder or disease regulated by CB receptor activity an effective amount of a fenoterol analogue to reduce one or more symptoms associated with the disorder or disease regulated by CB receptor activity.

Methods of regulating cannabinoid receptor activity-related disorders and diseases

This disclosure concerns the discovery of the use of fenoterol and (R,R)- and (R,S)-fenoterol analogues for the treatment of a tumor expressing a &#x3b2;2-adrenergic receptor, such as a primary brain tumor, including a glioblastoma or astrocytoma expressing a &#x3b2;2-adrenergic receptor. In one example, the method includes administering to a subject a therapeutically effective amount of fenoterol, a specific fenoterol analogue or a combination thereof to reduce one or more symptoms associated with the tumor, thereby treating the tumor in the subject.

Use of fenoterol and fenoterol analogues in the treatment of glioblastomas and astrocytomas

This disclosure concerns the discovery of (R,R)- and (R,S)-fenoterol analogues which are highly effective at binding &#x3b2;2-adrenergic receptors. Exemplary chemical structures for these analogues are provided. Also provided are pharmaceutical compositions including the disclosed (R,R)-fenoterol and fenoterol analogues, and methods of using such compounds and compositions for the treatment of cardiac disorders such as congestive heart failure and pulmonary disorders such as asthma or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.

The disclosure provides pharmaceutical preparations containing (2R,6R)-hydroxynorketamine, or (R)- or (S)-dehydronorketamine, or other stereoisomeric dehydro or hydroxylated ketamine metabolite. (2R,6R)-hydroxynorketamine The disclosure also provides novel ketamine metabolite prodrugs. The disclosure provides methods of treating, bipolar depression, major depressive disorder, neuropathic and chronic pain, including complex regional pain synthetic pain disorder (CRPD) by administering a purified ketamine metabolite or a ketamine metabolite prodrug directly to patients in need of such treatment.
