- Methods of preventing and reducing the severity of stress-associated conditions
-
The present invention provides a method of preventing or reducing the severity of a stress-associated condition in a subject by systemically administering to the subject an effective amount of brimonidine or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt, ester, amide, sterioisomer or racemic mixture thereof. Stress-associated conditions that can be treated according to a method of the invention include, but are not limited to, dyspepsia, tachycardias other than tachycardia associated with myocardial ischemia, panic attack, non-inflammatory dermatogical conditions, disorders of muscle contraction, sensory hypersensitivity associated with migraine, and behavioral disorders.

- Methods for using (2-imidazolin-2-ylamino) quinoxaline derivatives
-
A method of treating a mammal comprises administering to a mammal an effective amount to provide a desired therapeutic effect in the mammal of a compound selected from the group consisting of those having the formula: and pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salts thereof and mixtures thereof, wherein R1and R2each is selected from the group consisting of alkyl radicals containing 1 to 4 carbon atoms and alkoxy radicals containing 1 to 4 carbon atoms, the 2-imidazolin-2-ylamino group may be in any of the 5-, 6-, 7- or 8-positions of the quinoxaline nucleus, and R3, R4and R5each is located in one of the remaining 5-, 6-, 7- or 8-positions of the quinoxaline nucleus and is independently selected from the group consisting of Cl, Br, H and alkyl radicals containing 1 to 3 carbon atoms. Such compounds, when administered to a mammal, provide desired therapeutic effects, such as reduction in peripheral pain.

A method of treating a mammal comprises administering to a mammal an effective amount to provide a desired therapeutic effect in the mammal of a compound selected from the group consisting of those having the formula: STR1 , pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salts thereof and mixtures thereof, wherein R1 and R4 are independently selected from the group consisting of H and alkyl radicals having 1 to 4 carbon atoms; the R2 s are independently selected from H or alkyl radicals having 1 to 4 carbon atoms or are, together, oxo; the R3 s are independently selected from H or alkyl radicals having 1 to 4 carbon atoms or are, together, oxo; the 2-imidazolin-2-ylamino group may be in any of the 5-, 6, 7- or 8- positions of the quinoxaline nucleus; and R5, R6 and R7 each is located in one of the remaining 5-, 6-, 7- or 8- positions of the quinoxaline nucleus and is independently selected from the group consisting of Cl, Br, H and alkyl radicals having 1 to 3 carbon atoms. Such compounds, when administered to a mammal, provide desired therapeutic effects, such as constriction of one or more blood vessels and decongestion of one or more nasal passages.
