Abstract

Provided herein are methods, formulations, and dosing regimens for treating hypersomnia in a subject. For instance, methods provided herein comprise administering a GABAA chloride channel blocker. In certain embodiments, the GABAA chloride channel blocker is pentylenetetrazol (PTZ).

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A pharmaceutical composition useful for treating idiopathic hypersomnia in a subject comprising pentylenetetrazol (PTZ) and a pharmaceutically acceptable excipient. 
     
     
         2 . The pharmaceutical composition of  claim 1  in the form or a capsule or tablet. 
     
     
         3 . The pharmaceutical composition of  claim 2  wherein the tablet is enteric-coated. 
     
     
         4 . The pharmaceutical composition of  claim 1  wherein the pharmaceutically acceptable excipient is lactose, sucrose, mannitol, starch, or cellulose. 
     
     
         5 . The pharmaceutical composition of  claim 1  wherein the pharmaceutically acceptable excipient is magnesium stearate, stearic acid, sodium saccharin, talcum, or magnesium carbonate. 
     
     
         6 . The pharmaceutical composition of  claim 1  wherein the pharmaceutically acceptable excipient is iron oxide, silica gel, sodium lauryl sulfate, or titanium dioxide. 
     
     
         7 . The pharmaceutical composition of  claim 1  wherein the pharmaceutically acceptable excipient is a pH buffering agent. 
     
     
         8 . The pharmaceutical composition of  claim 7  wherein the pH buffering agent is a phosphate salt providing a phosphate buffered solution. 
     
     
         9 . The pharmaceutical composition of  claim 1  wherein the pharmaceutically acceptable excipient is a diluent selected from physiological saline, phosphate buffered saline, and dextrose solution. 
     
     
         10 . The pharmaceutical composition of  claim 1  wherein the pharmaceutically acceptable excipient is polyethylene glycol. 
     
     
         11 . The pharmaceutical composition of  claim 1  wherein the pharmaceutically acceptable excipient is poly lactic-glycolic acid (PLGA), poly-(I)-lactic-glycolic-tartaric acid (P(I)LGT), polylactic acid, poly(ε-caprolactone), or poly(alkylene oxide). 
     
     
         12 . The pharmaceutical composition of  claim 1  wherein the pharmaceutically acceptable excipient is triacetin. 
     
     
         13 . The pharmaceutical composition of  claim 1  wherein the pharmaceutically acceptable excipient is gelatin. 
     
     
         14 . The pharmaceutical composition of  claim 1  wherein the pharmaceutically acceptable excipient is a carrier selected from glucose. 
     
     
         15 . The pharmaceutical composition of  claim 1  wherein the pharmaceutically acceptable excipient is a carrier selected from an amino acid. 
     
     
         16 . The pharmaceutical composition of  claim 1  wherein the PTZ is at a dose of about 1 mg to 1,500 mg. 
     
     
         17 . The pharmaceutical composition of  claim 1  wherein the PTZ is at a dose of about 5 mg to 1,000 mg. 
     
     
         18 . The pharmaceutical composition of  claim 1  wherein the PTZ is at a dose of about mg to 800 mg. 
     
     
         19 . The pharmaceutical composition of  claim 1  wherein the PTZ is at a dose of about 25 mg to 600 mg.
