Abstract

6H-pyrrolo[3,4-d]pyridazine compounds and methods of their use of as ligands of voltage gated calcium channels (VGCC), useful in the treatment of neuropathic pain, and psychiatric and mood disorders such as, for example, schizophrenia, anxiety, depression, panic, and bipolar disorder, as well as in the treatment of pain, Parkinson's disease, cognitive dysfunction, epilepsy, circadian rhythm disorders, drug addiction, drug abuse, drug withdrawal and other.

Claims (67)

2. A compound selected from:

or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof.

3. A compound represented by Formula (I):
