Claims12
A method for treating a disorder of the nervous system in which the pathophysiology of the disorder involves excessive or inappropriate release of a neurotransmitter from neuronal cells comprising administering to a mammal exhibiting symptoms of said disorder or susceptible to said disorder an effective amount of a compound of the following Formula III:
- ##STR16## wherein R and R.sup.1 are each independently substituted or unsubstituted alkyl having from 1 to about 20 carbon atoms, substituted or unsubstituted alkenyl having from 2 to about 20 carbon atoms, substituted or unsubstituted alkynyl having from 2 to about 20 carbon atoms, substituted or unsubstituted alkoxy having from 1 to about 20 carbon atoms, substituted or unsubstituted aryloxy having from 6 to about 20 carbon atoms, substituted or unsubstituted aralkoxy having from 6 to about 20 carbon atoms, substituted or unsubstituted carbocyclic aryl having at least 5 ring atoms, substituted or unsubstituted aralkyl having at least 5 ring atoms, or a substituted or unsubstituted heteroaromatic or heteroalicyclic group having 1 to 3 rings, 3 to 8 ring members in each ring and 1 to 3 heteroatoms,
- with at least one of R and R.sup.1 being substituted or unsubstituted aryloxy, substituted or unsubstituted aralkoxy, substituted or unsubstituted alkylsulfinyl or substituted or unsubstituted alkylsulfonyl;
- R.sup.2 and R.sup.3 each independently being hydrogen, substituted or unsubstituted alkyl having from 1 to about 20 carbon atoms, substituted or unsubstituted alkenyl having from 2 to about 20 carbon atoms, substituted or unsubstituted alkynyl having from 2 to about 20 carbon atoms, substituted or unsubstituted alkoxy having from 1 to about 20 carbon atoms, substituted or unsubstituted aryloxy having from 6 to about 20 carbon atoms;

- and pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof.
