The present invention is directed to the use of conantokin peptides, conantokin peptide derivatives and conantokin peptide chimeras, referred to collectively as conantokins, having 10-30 amino acids, including preferably two or more .gamma.-carboxyglutamic acid residues, for the treatment of neurologic and psychiatric disorders, such as anticonvulsant agents, neuroprotective agents or analgesic agents. Neurologic disorders and psychiatric disorders include, epilepsy, convulsions, neurotoxic injury (associated with conditions of hypoxia, anoxia or ischemia which typically follows stroke, cerebrovascular accident, brain or spinal cord trauma, myocardial infarct, physical trauma, drowning, suffocation, perinatal asphyxia, or hypoglycemic events), neurodegeneration (associated with Alzheimer's disease, senile dementia, Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis, Multiple Sclerosis, Parkinson's disease, Huntington's disease, Down's Syndrome, Korsakoff's disease, schizophrenia, AIDS dementia, multi-infarct dementia, Binswanger dementia and neuronal damage associated with uncontrolled seizures), chemical toxicity (such as addiction, morphine tolerance, opiate tolerance, opioid tolerance and barbiturate tolerance), pain (acute, chronic, migraine), anxiety, major depression, manic-depressive illness, obsessive-complusive disorder, schizophrenia and mood disorders (such as bipolar disorder, unipolar depression, dysthymia and seasonal effective disorder) and dystonia (movement disorder), sleep disorder, muscle relaxation and urinary incontinence. In addition, the conantokins are useful for treating HIV infection, ophthalmic indications and memory, learning or cognitive deficits.

In addition, the conantokins are useful for treating HIV infection, ophthalmic indications and memory, learning or cognitive deficits.

A composition useful for reducing serum glucose levels by an oral controlled release system and a method for treating diabetes in a human being by controlling the blood glucose level (BGL) and reducing the complications associated with diabetic hyperglycemia and also the long term management of Non-Insulin Dependent Diabetes Mellitus (NIDDM) by avoiding the problems associated with the tight control of BGL, i.e., hypoglycemia tolerance and seizures. The composition is directed to a solid, hydrophilic matrix controlled release oral dosage form where the dosage form contains a therapeutically effective amount of antidiabetic drug in the matrix ensuring complete bioavailability of the drug from the matrix of the tablet. The formulation undergoes substantially or approaches zero order release of active drug and the concentration of the excepients and the water swellable polymers is chosen in such a way that the erosion or dissolution rate of the polymer is equal to the swelling rate of the polymer to get a constant release. Also, the concentration is chosen in such a way that the tablet will be fully dissolved at the same time the last of the drug is released and in addition a bioadhesive polymer may also be added to increase the residence time of the dosage form in the g.i.t. and at high concentration of the polymer, beta cyclodextrin may also be added to improve the release kinetics.
