title: Research on new AMPA antagonists of 2,3-benzodiazepine type.
abstract: In this review on the most interesting studies and discoveries made during our structure-activity relationship investigations with non-competitive AMPA antagonists of 2,3-benzodiazepine type, our chain of ideas is discussed which led to several new types of active non-competitive AMPA antagonists. Some selected compounds (e.g. GYKI-47261) exerting broad spectrum of anticonvulsive and excellent neuroprotective effects are being further investigated.
