SELECTIVE INHIBITORS OF EXCITATORY AMINO ACID TRANSPORTER SUBTYPE 1 (EAAT1/GLAST)

摘要

The invention is the discovery of the use of the class of compounds represented by Formula I, as selective inhibitors of excitatory amino acid transporter (EAAT) subtype 1 (EAAT1) and its rodent ortholog L-glutamate/L-aspartate transporter (GLAST) for the study of function and distribution of EAAT1/GLAST in the central nervous system and studies of the physiological and pathological functions of the EAAT1/GLAST subtype in native tissues, cultured neurons, and/or animal models for CNS disorders.;
