Patients susceptible to or suffering from disorders, such as central nervous system disorders, which are characterized by an alteration in normal neurotransmitter release, such as dopamine release (e.g., Parkinsonism, Parkinson's Disease, Tourette's Syndrome, attention deficient disorder, or schizophrenia), are treated by administering a compound of Formulas (1 or 2), as described herein. The compounds of Formulas (1 and 2) are also useful for treating pain, and treating drug addiction, nicotine addiction, and/or obesity. The compounds can exist as individual stereoisomers, racemic mixtures, diastereomers and the like. |
