  • Patent number: 5462965
    Abstract: A class of heterocyclic amino-alcohol compounds is described for treatment of CNS-related diseases, namely, for use as a neuroprotective agent, to reduce neurotoxic injury associated with conditions of hypoxia, anoxia or ischemia which typically follows stroke, myocardial infarct, perinatal asphyxia, or hypoglycemic events. Other examples of treatable CNS-related diseases include neurodegenerative diseases such as Parkinson's disease, Huntington's chorea and Alzheimer's disease, and also psychotic disorders such as schizophrenia. The treatment includes administration of a compound of this class alone or in a composition in an amount effective as a mediator to alter excitatory actions at the NMDA excitatory amino acid receptor complex.
