Abstract: The invention relates to subtype-selective NMDA receptor ligands and the use thereof for treating or preventing neuronal loss associated with stroke, ischemia, CNS trauma, hypoglycemia and surgery, as well as treating neurodegenerative diseases including Alzheimer's disease, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, Huntington's disease and Down's syndrome, treating or preventing the adverse consequences of the overstimulation of the excitatory amino acids, treating anxiety, psychosis, convulsions, aminoglycoside antibiotics-induced hearing loss, migraine headache, chronic pain, Parkinson's disease, glaucoma, CMV retinitis, urinary incontinence, opioid tolerance or withdrawal, and inducing anesthesia, as well as for enhancing cognition.

Abstract: Novel 4-substituted piperidine analogs, pharmaceutical compositions containing the same and the method of using the 4-substituted piperidine analogs as selectively active antagonists of N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor subtypes for treating conditions such as cerebral ischemia, central nervous system trauma, hypoglycemia, neurodegenerative disorders, anxiety, migraine headaches, convulsions, aminoglycoside antibiotics-induced hearing loss, chronic pain, psychosis, glaucoma, CMV retinitis, opioid tolerance or withdrawal, urinary incontinence and neurodegenerative disorders such as lathyrism, Alzheimers' Disease, Parkinsonism, and Huntington's Disease are described. Also described are novel methods for preparing 4-substituted piperidine analogs and novel intermediates of the 4-substituted piperidine analogs.
