Non-Racemic Mixtures of Various Ratios of D- and L-methadone and Methods of Treating Pain Using the Same
Non-racemic mixtures of D- and L-methadone containing a ratio ranging from about 2.5:1 to about 3.5:1 by weight of D-methadone to L-methadone, such as for example about 2.9:1 to about 3.1:1 by weight of D-methadone to L-methadone, or about 3:1 by weight of D-methadone to L-methadone, have been found to exhibit surprising and unexpected beneficial results in the treatment of neuropathic pain. Additionally, non-racemic mixtures of D- and L-methadone containing a ratio ranging from about 2.5:1 to about 3.5:1 by weight of D-methadone to L-methadone, about 2.9:1 to about 3.1:1 by weight of D-methadone to L-methadone, or for example about 3:1 by weight of D-methadone to L-methadone, in combination with other non-methadone opioids have been found to exhibit surprising and unexpected beneficial results in the treatment of mixed pain.

(R)-6-(DIMETHYLAMINO)-4,4-DIPHENYLHEPTAN-3-ONE
Methods for producing methadone and its resolution to produce (R)-6-dimethylamino-4,4-diphenylheptan-3-one ((R)- methadone). Such methods producing first the precursor compound 4-(dimethylamino)-2,2-diphenylpentanitrile. Oxidation of 4-(dimethylamino)-2,2-diphenylpentanitrile with ethyl magnesium halide and hydrolysis with of the complex to form 6-dimethylamino-4,4-diphenylheptan-3-one. Resolution to the (R)-isomer is effected by reaction with a bromocamphor salt. Once isolated the (R)-isomer is crystallised.
