International ClassA61K 031/35Foreign Application Priority Data1989-11-07 ILAbstractThe use of a compound of the formula: ##STR1## having the (3S,4S) configuration, and which is essentially free of the (3R,4R) enantiomer, wherein A--B designates a 1(2) or a 6(1) double bond, R designates --CH3 or --CH2 OH, R1 designates a hydrogen atom or a lower acyl group, and R2 designates (A) a straight-chained or branched C6-12 alkyl radical; or (B) a group --O--R3, in which R3 is a straight-chained or branched C5-9 alkyl radical or a straight-chained or branched alkyl radical substituted at the terminal carbon atom by a phenyl group in the manufacture of a medicament for reducing or preventing glutamate neurotoxicity. Some of the above compounds are novel, and their preparation is described. Also described is a method of treating acute injuries to the central nervous system associated with excitatory amino acid neurotoxicity, a method of treating chronic degenerative disease associated with gradual selective neuronal loss and a method of treating poisonings affecting the central nervous system by administering a pharmaceutical composition containing the above compound.Other References
