AI Article Synopsis

  • A new series of cyclic benzamidines was created and demonstrated selectivity for blocking the NR2B subtype of NMDA receptors.
  • Compound 29 from this series was tested and found to be effective when taken orally in a rat model that simulates pain caused by carrageenan.
  • This research suggests potential for developing pain relief treatments targeting specific NMDA receptor subtypes.

Article Abstract

A novel series of cyclic benzamidines was synthesized and shown to exhibit NR2B-subtype selective NMDA antagonist activity. Compound 29 is orally active in a carrageenan-induced rat hyperalgesia model of pain.
