Bi- and tri-cyclic aza compounds and their uses

Year	Description
1998	Invention patented by Alan P. Kozikowski and Miles P. Smith on August 4th, 1998. Abstract: The present invention provides tropane-derived monoamine neurotransmitter re-uptake inhibitors which predictably exhibit selectivity for either the serotonin or dopamine transporter, pharmaceutical compositions thereof and methods for their use. The serotonin-selective re-uptake inhibitors are particularly useful for treating neurological disorders associated with the serotonergic neural system of the brain, such as depression, with significantly reduced side-effects. The dopamine-selective re-uptake inhibitors are particularly useful for treating disorders associated with dopamine re-uptake and/or acetylcholine release.
