title: Kynurenic acid amides as novel NR2B selective NMDA receptor antagonists.
abstract: A novel series of kynurenic acid amides, ring-enlarged derivatives of indole-2-carboxamides, was prepared and identified as in vivo active NR2B subtype selective NMDA receptor antagonists. The synthesis and SAR studies are discussed.
