This document relates to compounds as well as methods and materials involved in modulating neurotransmitter reuptake. For example, compounds, methods for synthesizing compounds, and methods for inhibiting neurotransmitter reuptake are provided. Specifically gamma-amino alcohol derivatives that inhibit the reuptake of neurotransmitters such as dopamine, serotonin, epinephrine or norepinephrine are provided as therapeutic agents for the treatment of depression or anxiety in a mammalian subject.

Inhibiting neurotransmitter reuptake

The present invention includes insecticidal carbamates that are useful, for example, for the control of insects, such as mosquitoes, which can be used in applications where exposure to and/or contact with humans is likely. The insecticides of the present invention include phenyl N-methyl carbamates and compositions comprising them that exhibit species-selective inhibition of acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and are preferably toxic to mosquitoes but not humans. Of particular interest are compounds of Formula (I) and Formula (II): Compounds of Formula (I) and Formula (II) are especially suitable for insecticide treated nets and indoor residual spraying for mosquito control.

Insecticidal carbamates exhibiting species-selective inhibition of acetylcholinesterase (AChE)

The invention relates to amine compounds as well as methods and materials involved in modulating neurotransmitter reuptake. Specifically, the invention provides amine compounds, methods for synthesizing amine compounds, and methods for inhibiting neurotransmitter reuptake.

Amine compounds and inhibiting neurotransmitter reuptake

The invention relates to dimeric compounds comprising two 5-amino-5,6,7,8-tetrahydroquinoline fragments joined together by a divalent linking group, processes for their preparation, intermediates for their preparation, pharmaceutical compositions containing such dimeric compounds and the use of such compounds as cholinesterase inhibitors and in the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer's Disease and myasthenia gravis.
