Metabotropic glutamate receptor agonists in the treatment of cerebral ischemia

摘要

Administration of metabotropic glutamate receptor agonists protect neuronal cells from death from cerebral ischemia. Examples of agents are L(+)-2-amino-4-phosphonobutyric acid, trans-amino cyclopentane dicarboxylic acid, (1S,3R)-amino cyclopentane dicarboxylic acid and quisqualic acid.
