Oxamides as novel NR2B selective NMDA receptor antagonists

Bioorg Med Chem Lett. 2004 Aug 2;14(15):3953-6. doi: 10.1016/j.bmcl.2004.05.053.

Abstract

A novel series of oxamides derived from indole-2-carboxamides was identified as potent NR2B selective NMDA receptor antagonists. Several members of this group showed good analgesic activity in the mouse formalin test.
