  • NMDA receptor channel blocker with neuroprotective activity
    Patent number: 7022882
    Abstract: Neuroprotectant agents are provided which do not contain peptides and axe protected from the degradation that limits the use of peptide-based drugs in systemic circulation. With great selectivity for NMDA receptors, the agents exert an open channel block on NMDA receptors, and protect neuronal cells containing such receptors from excitatoxic cell death.
