Aryl-cycloalkyl-alkanolamines for treatment of neurotoxic injury
Compounds, compositions and methods of treatment are described to control brain damage associated with anoxia or ischemia which typically follows such conditions as stroke, cardiac arrest or perinatal asphyxia. The treatment includes administration of an aryl-cycloalkyl-alkanolamine compound as an antagonist to inhibit excitotoxic actions at major neuronal excitatory amino acid receptor sites.
