NMDA receptor pathways as drug targets
Nat Neurosci.
2002 Nov.
Abstract
Since the mid 1980s, there has been a great deal of enthusiasm within both academia and industry about the therapeutic potential of drugs targeting the NMDA subtype of glutamate receptors. That early promise is just beginning to translate into approvable drugs. Here we review the reasons for this slow progress and critically assess the future prospects for drugs that act on NMDA receptor pathways, including potential treatments for some major disorders such as stroke and Alzheimer's disease, for which effective therapies are still lacking.
