This invention relates to a nicotine chewing gum giving an immediate release and uptake of nicotine and an extended release and uptake of nicotine as well as describing suitable manufacturing processes for such chewing gum formulations and the use of the chewing gum for the treatment of a human being suffering from cravings from tobacco and/or e-cigarette dependency.

The present invention relates to novel 6,7-dihydropyrazolo[1,5-a]pyrazin-4(5H)-one derivatives as negative allosteric modulators (NAMs) of the metabotropic glutamate receptor subtype 2 (“mGluR2”). The invention is also directed to pharmaceutical compositions comprising such compounds, to processes for preparing such compounds and compositions, and to the use of such compounds and compositions for the prevention or treatment of disorders in which the mGluR2 subtype of metabotropic receptors is involved.

1-[2-(2,4-dimethylphenylsulphanyl)phenyl)]piperazine exhibits potent activity on SERT, 5-HT.sub.3 and 5-HT.sub.1A and may as such be useful for the treatment of cognitive impairment, especially in depressed patients.

The present invention relates to novel 1,2,4-triazolo[4,3-a]pyridine compounds as positive allosteric modulators (PAMs) of the metabotropic glutamate receptor subtype 2 (“mGluR2”). The invention is also directed to pharmaceutical compositions comprising such compounds, to processes for preparing such compounds and compositions, and to the use of such compounds and compositions for the prevention or treatment of disorders in which mGluR2 subtype of metabotropic receptors is involved.

The present invention relates to certain PDE2 inhibitory compounds, in free or salt form, pharmaceutical compositions containing such compounds and methods for the treatment of PDE2 mediated disorders.

A nicotine oral delivery product contains a powder enclosed in a water insoluble pouch, wherein the pouch is permeable for saliva and therein dissolved parts of the powder, wherein the powder comprises at least (a) nicotine selected from the group consisting of tobacco, nicotine salts, nicotine base, stabilized nicotine, and mixtures thereof corresponding to 0.1 to 20 mg nicotine in the form of nicotine base and (b) a chewing gum composition.
