Irampanel Boehringer Ingelheim.
The oxazole derivative, irampanel, a non-competitive AMPA receptor antagonist, is under development by Boehringer Ingelheim for the potential treatment of stroke [329079]. Phase I/IIa trials for stroke had been initiated by July 2000 [374144]. Phase II trials were ongoing in April 2001 [407163]; in April 2002, however, the drug did not appear on the company's research and development pipeline [446554], and a company spokesperson declined to confirm its current status [450591]. The compound was also originally under investigation for other neurological disorders, including epilepsy and pain [329079], although by October 1999, development was only ongoing for stroke [346080].
