Sustained-release derivatives of hydroxylated analogs of substituted 1-[2[bis(aryl)methoxy]ethyl]-piperazines and -homopiperazines and their use

摘要

The present invention provides sustained-release derivatives of hydroxylated analogs of substituted 1-[2[bis(aryl)methoxy]ethyl]-piperazines and -homopiperazines, pharmaceutical compositions comprising the same, and a method of using such sustained-release derivatives to bind the dopamine transporter to achieve a desired effect, such as antagonism of dopamine reuptake inhibitors, such as cocaine, or dopamine releasers or norepinephrine and/or serotonin reuptake inhibitors, such as methamphetamine.
