<p>A class of imidazo[1,2-a]pyridinylalkyl compounds is described for treatment to reduce neurotoxic injury associated with anoxia or ischemia which typically follows stroke, cardiac arrest or perinatal asphyxia. The treatment includes administration of a compound of this class alone or in a composition in an amount effective as an antagonist to inhibit excitotoxic actions at major neuronal excitatory amino acid receptor sites. Compounds of most interest are those of the formula: <CHEM> wherein each of R<2><2>, R<2><3> and R<2><4> is independently selected from hydrido, methyl, ethyl, n-propyl, isopropyl, n-butyl, isobutyl, sec-butyl, tert-butyl, cyclopropyl, cyclobutyl, cyclopentyl, cyclohexyl and cycloheptyl; wherein each of Ym and Yn is a spacer group independently selected methylene and ethylene radicals which may be unsubstituted and from methylene radicals which may be substituted with a group selected from halo, hydroxy and oxo; wherein each of m and n is a number independently selected from zero to two, inclusive; wherein each X and T is one or more groups independently selected from hydrido, alkyl, cycloalkyl, halo, haloalkyl, hydroxy, hydroxyalkyl, alkoxy, alkoxyalkyl and alkanoyl; or a pharmaceutically-acceptable salt thereof.</p> |
