  • Patent number: 12415790
    Abstract: Compounds that selectively inhibit GluN2B-containing N-methyl-D-aspartic acid receptors (NM/DARs) are disclosed. In some cases, the compounds selectively target GluN2B over GluN2A, GluN2C, and/or GluN2D. Generally, the compounds possess an enhanced potency to GluN2B at a pH that is more acidic compared to the physiological pH. Pharmaceutical formulations containing one or more of the compounds are also disclosed. Additionally, methods of treating a condition, disorder or disease using the compounds or their pharmaceutical formulations thereof are disclosed.
