2,5-DIHYDRO-2,5-DIOXO-1H-AZEPINES AND 2,5-DIHYDRO-2-OXO-1H-AZEPINES AND THE USE THEREOF AS EXCITATORY AMINO ACID AND GLYCINE RECEPTOR ANTAGONISTS

摘要

Methods of 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 hyperactivity of the excitatory amino acids, as well as treating anxiety, chronic pain, convulsions and inducing anesthesia are disclosed by administering to an animal in need of such treatment a substituted benzazepine which has high binding to the glycine receptor.
