N-METHYL-D-ASPARTATE ANTAGONISTS - READY FOR CLINICAL-TRIAL IN BRAIN ISCHEMIA ANNALS OF NEUROLOGY Albers, G. W., Goldberg, M. P., Choi, D. W. 1989; 25 (4): 398-403

Abstract

Antagonists of the N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) subclass of glutamate receptors may offer a new approach for the treatment of ischemic brain injury. This strategy is supported by a well-developed scientific foundation and encouraging results in a variety of in vivo and in vitro experimental models. Several specific antagonists, including MK-801, dextrorphan, dextromethorphan, and ketamine, have already been used at low doses in humans for other indications and are potential candidates for Phase I clinical trials.
