Dementsprechend betrifft die vorliegende Erfindung die Verwendung von 2-Amino- 4,5,6,7-tetrahydro-6-n-propylamino-benzothiazol, gegebenenfalls in Form seines (+) oder seines (-) Enantiomers, gegebenenfalls in Form der pharmakologisch verträgliche Saureadditionssalze sowie Hydrate und Solvate zur Herstellung eines Arzneimittels zur Vorbeugung und/oder Behandlung von ADHD.Accordingly, the present invention relates to the use of 2-amino-4,5,6,7-tetrahydro-6-n-propylamino-benzothiazole, optionally in the form of its (+) or its (-) enantiomer, optionally in the form of the pharmacologically acceptable one Acid addition salts and hydrates and solvates for the manufacture of a medicament for the prevention and / or treatment of ADHD.

Die Bezeichnung ADHD steht für "attention deficit hyperactivity disorder". Sie beschreibt eine sowohl bei Kindern als auch bei Erwachsenen in Form eines Aufmerksamkeitsdefizits auftretende Störung. Unter ÄDHD wird ferner eine ebenfalls sowohl bei Kindern als auch bei Erwachsenen beobachtbare Hyperaktivitätsstörung verstanden. ADHD kann, je nachdem welche der vorstehend genannten Störungen dominiert, in unterschiedlichen Ausprägungen beobachtet werden. Es gibt den Mischtyp, bei dem sowohl ein Aufmerksamkeitsdefizit als auch eine Hyperaktivitätsstörung beobachtbar ist, den vorwiegend unaufmerksamen Typ sowie den vorwiegend hyperaktiven-impulsiven Typus.The term ADHD stands for "attention deficit hyperactivity disorder". It describes a disorder that occurs in both children and adults in the form of an attention deficit. ADHD is also understood to be a hyperactivity disorder that can also be observed in both children and adults. Depending on which of the above-mentioned disorders dominates, ADHD can be observed in different forms. There is the mixed type, in which both a deficit in attention and a hyperactivity disorder can be observed, the predominantly inattentive type and the predominantly hyperactive-impulsive type.

Der Mischtyp liegt vor, wenn jeweils mindestens sechs von neun Symptomen der Aufmerksamkeitsstörung und der Hyperaktivität/Impulsivität über mindestens sechs Monate persistieren. Haben wenigstens sechs Symptome des Aufmerksamkeitsdefizits, aber weniger als sechs der Hyperaktivität/Impulsivität über mindestens sechs Monate bestanden liegt der vorwiegend unaufmerksame Typ vor. Der vorwiegend hyperaktiv-impulsiven Typ liegt vor, wenn über einen Zeitraum von mindestens sechs Monaten wenigstens sechs Symptome aus dem Bereich Hyperaktivität/Impulsivität aber weniger als sechs aus dem Bereich Unaufmerksamkeit vorgelegen haben.The mixed type occurs when at least six out of nine symptoms of attention deficit disorder and hyperactivity / impulsivity persist for at least six months. Have at least six symptoms of Attention deficit, but less than six of the hyperactivity / impulsivity persisted for at least six months is the predominantly inattentive type. The predominantly hyperactive-impulsive type is when at least six symptoms from the area of hyperactivity / impulsivity but less than six from the area of inattentiveness have been present over a period of at least six months.

Pramipexol kann im Rahmen der vorliegenden Erfindung als Racemat, in Form seines (+)- oder in Form seines (-)-Enantiomers zum Einsatz gelangen. Ferner kann Pramipexol in Form seiner pharmazeutisch verträglichen Saureadditionssalze sowie gegebenenfalls in Form seiner Hydrate und/oder Solvate verwendet werden. Unter pharmazeutisch verträglichen Säureadditionssalzen werden erfindungsgemäß solche Salze verstanden, die ausgewählt sind aus den Salzen der Salzsäure, Bromwasserstoffsäure, Schwefelsäure, Phosphorsäure, Methansulfonsäure, Essigsäure, Fumarsäure, Bernsteinsäure, Milchsäure, Zitronensäure, Weinsäure und Maleinsäure, wobei die Salze der Salzsäure, Bromwasserstoffsäure, Schwefelsäure, Phosphorsäure, und Essigsäure besonders bevorzugt sind. Eine besondere Bedeutung kommt hierbei den Salzen der Salzsäure zu. Besonders bevorzugt gelangen im Rahmen der vorliegenden Erfindung dementsprechend die Hydrochloride des Pramipexols zum Einsatz, wobei dem Pramipexoldihydrochlorid eine besondere Bedeutung zukommt. Von den Hydraten des Pramipexols ist das Pramipexoldihydrochlorid-monohydrat besonders bevorzugt.In the context of the present invention, pramipexole can be used as a racemate, in the form of its (+) - or in the form of its (-) - enantiomer. Pramipexole can also be used in the form of its pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salts and, if appropriate, in the form of its hydrates and / or solvates. According to the invention, pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salts are understood to be those salts which are selected from the salts of hydrochloric acid, hydrobromic acid, sulfuric acid, phosphoric acid, methanesulfonic acid, acetic acid, fumaric acid, succinic acid, lactic acid, citric acid, tartaric acid and maleic acid, the salts of hydrochloric acid, hydrobromic acid, sulfuric acid , Phosphoric acid, and acetic acid are particularly preferred. The salts of hydrochloric acid are of particular importance here. Accordingly, the hydrochlorides of pramipexole are particularly preferably used in the context of the present invention, the pramipexole dihydrochloride being of particular importance. Of the hydrates of the pramipexole, the pramipexole dihydrochloride monohydrate is particularly preferred.

Die Dosierung von Pramipexol ist naturgemäß stark abhängig vom Krankeitsbild. Beispielsweise und ohne den Gegenstand der vorliegenden Erfindung darauf zu beschränken kann Pramipexol pro Tag in Dosierungen von etwa 0,05 bis 7,5 mg, bevorzugt 0,1 bis 5 mg Verwendung finden. Diese Dosierungen sind bezogen auf Pramipexol in Form seiner freien Base. Bezogen auf die bevorzugt zum Einsatz gelangende Salzform Pramipexoldihydrochlorid-monohydrat entsprechen die vorstehend genannten Dosierungen etwa 0,07 bis 10t65 mg, bevorzugt 0,14 bis 7,1 mg Pramipexoldihydrochlorid-monohydrat pro Tag.The dosage of Pramipexole is naturally very dependent on the clinical picture. For example, and without restricting the subject matter of the present invention thereto, pramipexole can be used in doses of about 0.05 to 7.5 mg, preferably 0.1 to 5 mg, per day. These dosages are based on pramipexole in the form of its free base. Based on the preferred salt form pramipexole dihydrochloride monohydrate, the above-mentioned dosages correspond to about 0.07 to 10 t 65 mg, preferably 0.14 to 7.1 mg pramipexole dihydrochloride monohydrate per day.
