The invention further relates to novel sigma receptor ligands having high binding to the sigma receptor and pharmaceutical compositions thereof. Unexpectedly, certain of the sigma receptor ligands of the present invention have selectivity for the sigma receptor over the DA, PCP and 5-HT.sub.1A receptors.
Abstract:
A monohydrate of an aminobenzenesulfonic acid derivative represented by the following formula (I), for example, 2-(1-piperazinyl)-5-methylbenzenesulfonic acid, is substantially free from weight change due to moisture absorption and can be weighed accurately in manufacturing a pharmaceutical composition for the treatment of heart diseases comprising said monohydrate. ##STR1##
Abstract:
