Compositions containing and methods of using 1-aminoindan and derivatives thereof and process for preparing optically active 1-aminoindan derivatives

摘要

Novel derivatives of 1-aminoindan and their salts are described. Optically active 1-aminoindan derivatives are prepared by reacting a N-benzyl analog of the desired compound with an enantiomer of mandelic acid. Parkinson's disease, dementia, epilepsy, convulsions, or seizures are treated by administering a compound of the formula: <IMAGE>
