Abstract
A preparation for treatment of addiction to alcohol, containing a carbamic acid ester having the general formula I ##STR1## wherein X is --CH.sub.3 or --CH.sub.2 CH.sub.3, R and R.sub.1 which may be the same or different, are hydrogen, C.sub.1-5 alkyl or a group of the formula ##STR2## wherein n is 0, 1 or 2, and R.sub.2, R.sub.3 and R.sub.4 are H, OH, OCH.sub.3, CH.sub.3, NO.sub.2 or halogen, and wherein R and R.sub.1 together with the nitrogen atom can form a saturated ring system having 4-6 atoms selected among C, N, O or S, and wherein A is sulphur or oxygen.
Claims5
A method of treating addiction to alcohol in a patient comprising administering to said patient an effective amount of a compound of the general formula:
- ##STR13## wherein:
- (a) X is CH.sub.3 or CH.sub.2 CH.sub.3 ;

- (c) R and R.sub.1, which may be the same or different:
- (i) are selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, C.sub.1-5 alkyl, and a group of the formula:
- ##STR14## wherein:
- (A) n is 0, 1, or 2;
- and
- (B) R.sub.2, R.sub.3, and R.sub.4 are H, OH, OCH.sub.3, CH.sub.3, NO.sub.2, or halogen;
- or
- (ii) form a saturated ring system, with the amide nitrogen atom, having 4-6 atoms selected from the group consisting of C, N, O, and S.
