NOVEL CHROMONE OXIME DERIVATIVE AND ITS USE AS ALLOSTERIC MODULATOR OF METABOTROPIC GLUTAMATE RECEPTORS

摘要

The present invention provides a novel chromone oxime derivative of formula (I), which is a modulator of nervous system receptors sensitive to glutamate and, furthermore, presents an advantageously high brain penetration upon oral administration. The invention also relates to a pharmaceutical composition containing this compound, and to its use for the treatment or prevention of conditions associated with altered glutamatergic signalling and/or functions, or conditions which can be affected by alteration of glutamate level or signalling, particularly acute and chronic neurological and/or psychiatric disorders.
