Abstract
We have developed a new class of N-methyl- d-aspartate (NMDA) channel blockers having a conjugate structure that consists of a nitrogenous heterocyclic head and a tetraamine tail. Among them, dihydrodibenzazepine-homospermine conjugate ( 8) exhibited potent antagonistic activity at NR1/NR2A or NR1/NR2B NMDA subtype receptors compared with the lead compound, AQ343 ( 1), or memantine, as well as weak cytotoxicity. Its superior biological profiles compared with known compounds point to its potential use as therapeutic agents for neurological disorders.
