2,3-Benzodiazepines represent a class of heterocyclic compounds that interact with AMPA-type glutamate receptors in a noncompetitive manner. These compounds have attracted great interest for their pharmacological effects against acute and chronic neurodegenerative diseases, such as ischemia and epilepsy. We synthesized a large number of 2,3-benzodiazepine derivatives, which showed anticonvulsant properties in different seizure models and a noncompetitive blockade of AMPA receptor.

Abstract
2,3-Benzodiazepines represent a class of heterocyclic compounds that interact with AMPA-type glutamate receptors in a noncompetitive manner. These compounds have attracted great interest for their pharmacological effects against acute and chronic neurodegenerative diseases, such as ischemia and epilepsy. We synthesized a large number of 2,3-benzodiazepine derivatives, which showed anticonvulsant properties in different seizure models and a noncompetitive blockade of AMPA receptor. This article will briefly mention our work in this field and the main SAR considerations. (C) 2002 Editions scientifiques et medicales Elsevier SAS.
