<p>Novel, potent anticonvulsants, analgesics and cognition enhancers achieving their action through the antagonism of specific excitatory amino acid neurotransmitter receptors. In particular, the invention is directed to φ-[2-(phosphonoalkylenyl)phenyl]-2-aminoalkanoic acids having general formula (I), wherein R1 and R2 are the same or different and are selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, lower alkyl, halogen, -CH=CH-CH=CH=, amino, nitro, trifluoromethyl or cyano; n and m = 0, 1, 2 or 3; and the pharmaceutically acceptable salts and derivatives thereof. Examples of specific preferred compounds of general formula are selected from the group consisting of: 4-[2-phosphonomethylphenyl]-2-aminobutanoic acid, ethyl 3-[2-(2-diethylphosphonoethyl)phenyl]-2-acetamido-2-carboethoxypropanoate, 3-[2-(phosphonomethyl)phenyl]-2-aminopropanoic acid, ethyl 3-[2-(3-bromopropyl)phenyl]-2-acetamido-3-carboethoxypropanoate, ethyl 3-[2-(3-diethylphosphonopropyl)phenyl]-2-acetamido-2-carboethoxypropanoate, ethyl 3-[2-(3-phosphonopropyl)-phenyl]-2-aminopropanoic acid, ethyl 5-[2-(diethylphosphonomethyl)-phenyl]-2- acetamido-2-carboethoxypentanoate, and 5-[2-phosphonomethylphenyl]-2-aminopentanoic acid.</p> |
