PL'invention a pour objet une composition pharmaceutique pour le traitement de la frigidité et de l'impuissance sexuelle. Le composé actif dans la composition pharmaceutique est un composé qui exerce une action antagoniste ou inhibitrice vis-à-vis des récepteurs opiacés; la composition permet le traitement de la frigidité et de l'impuissance aussi bien d'origine naturelle que du type provoqué par des médicaments analogues à la morphine. Les composés préférés sont la naloxone la naltrexone et la ...

An improved method of relieving severe itching associated with conditions such as Hodgkin\'s Disease mycosis fungoides intractable pruritis and the like comprising administering an effective dosage of naloxone to a patient suffering from such itching.

There is provided a novel high yield method of dealkylating N-alkylated 14-hydroxymorphinans and derivatives thereof including inter alia oxymorphone and oycodone. There are thus provided inter alia more efficient routes for the formation of naloxone naltrexone and nalbuphine. In the principal step of the process the dealkylation using certain oxycarbonyl halides (or haloformates) is carried out on the N-alkyl-14-acyloxy-morphinan which it is desired to dealkylate.

The .beta.-endorphin analog .beta.-endorphin (6-31) although lacking the enkephalin moiety i.e. .beta.-endorphin (1-5) exhibits analgesic activity which is not reversed by naloxone.

Orally effective analgetic compositions have been developed which are useful in the prevention of drug abuse because upon parenteral administration they do not produce analgesia euphoria or physical dependence. Such compositions comprise an orally active strong analgetic in oral dosage form and containing for each analgetic dose of the analgetic agent an amount of naloxone sufficient upon parenteral administration of said oral dosage form to negate the analgetic euphoretic and dependence produci...

1353815 Analgesic compositions BRISTOLMYERS CO 8 July 1971 [3 Aug 1970] 32077/ 71 Heading A5B Abuse of an addictive orally active analgesic may be reduced by compounding it with naloxone in an amount sufficient to eliminate its analgesic or euphoric action when administered parenterally but insufficient to eliminate its analgesic or euphoric action when administered orally. Analgesics specified include meperidine oxymorphone dextropropoxyphene methadone levorphanol phenazocine profadol codeine -...
