Nonracemic mixtures and uses thereof
Provided are compositions comprising unequal mixtures of (R)-amisulpride and (S)-amisulpride, or pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof, where the amount of (R)-amisulpride is greater than the amount of (S)-amisulpride, compositions and medicaments comprising the same used for the treatment of various diseases and disorders, and methods of using same for the treatment of various diseases and disorders, including, but not limited to, dosage regimens. In addition, provided are various formulations thereof, including, but not limited to, formulations employing polymorphs of enantiomeric amisulpride.
1. A composition comprising:
(R)-(+)-amisulpride, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, by weight of free base; and
(S)-(−)-amisulpride, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, by weight of free base;
wherein the combined amount of (R)-(+)-amisulpride and (S)-(−)-amisulpride, or pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof, is about 200 mg to about 600 mg by weight of free base; and
wherein the enantiomeric ratio of (R)-(+)-amisulpride to (S)-(−)-amisulpride in the composition is about 85:15 by weight of free base.
2. The composition of claim 1 wherein the (R)-(+)-amisulpride is crystalline (R)-(+)-amisulpride of crystal Form A; and the (S)-(−)-amisulpride is crystalline (S)-(−)-amisulpride of crystal Form A′;
