YWYAHAAA' FIG. 12 US 8,039,468 B2 1. 2 METHOD OF INHIBITION OF underlying cellular mechanisms responsible for the opiate RESPRATORY DEPRESSIONUSING effects on respiration have not, however, been elucidated. POSITIVE ALLOSTERICAMPARECEPTOR Opiate agents are widely used in medicine. Because they MODULATORS depress breathing, however, their use is contraindicated in many instances, especially in patients with compromised car CROSS-REFERENCES TO RELATED diovascular and pulmonary function. Thus, there has been a APPLICATIONS long-felt need to harness the analgesic power of the opiates and opioids, without depressing the respiratory function of This application claims benefit of U.S. Provisional Appli the patient. 10 The present invention addresses this and other needs by cation No. 60/824.245, filed Aug. 31, 2006, which is herein disclosing that positive allosteric AMPA receptor modulators incorporated by reference in its entirety. provide a novel pharmacological means of countering respi FIELD OF THE INVENTION ratory depression. The present invention demonstrates that a positive allosteric AMPA receptor modulator, which can 15 potentiate AMPA receptor-mediated currents (Nagarajan, N., The invention is directed towards a method for reducing or et al. (2001) Neuropharmacol. 41:650-663) is an effective inhibiting respiratory depression (RD) in a Subject as a result means of countering respiratory depression.
