Alternative splicing events in SCN1A gene can lead to non-productive mRNA transcripts which in turn can lead to aberrant protein expression, and therapeutic agents which can target the alternative splicing events in SCN1A gene can modulate the expression level of functional proteins in Dravet Syndrome patients and/or inhibit aberrant protein expression. Such therapeutic agents can be used to treat a condition caused by SCN1A, SCN8A or SCN5A protein deficiency.

A method of treating and/or preventing symptoms of Doose syndrome in a patient such as a patient previously diagnosed with Doose syndrome, by administering an effective dose of fenfluramine or its pharmaceutically acceptable salt to that patient. Doose syndrome patients are treated at a preferred dose of less than about 10.0 to about 0.01 mg/kg/day.

Embodiments of the invention relate to methods for the manufacture of a protein-bound cannabinoid, comprising: obtaining a cannabinoid or cannabis in a form selected from the group consisting of cannabis smoke, cannabis vapor, cannabinoid solution and cannabis extract, and combining the cannabis smoke, vapor, cannabinoid solution or cannabis extract with an aqueous solution or suspension comprising a plasma protein to form a protein-bound cannabinoid. Further embodiments relate to aqueous solutions comprising a plasma protein-bound cannabinoid and pharmaceutical compositions comprising cannabinoids bound to plasma protein.

The disclosure is directed to novel dopamine D3 receptor antagonists, processes for their preparation, intermediates used in these processes, pharmaceutical compositions containing them and their use in therapy, including treating drug dependency and psychosis.
