Ischemic insults to the brain, as occur in stroke or traumatic brain injury, produce excessive and prolonged release of glutamate from depolarized nerve terminals.'. 2 Agents that block the postsynaptic actions of glutamate have been investigated as candidates for the limitation of ischemic brain damage. A clear indication for the therapeutic use of antagonists of the N-methyl+-aspartate (NMDA)-sensitive subclass of glutamate receptors is in the acute treatment of focal cerebral ischemia, as occurs in stroke and traumatic brain injury. NMDA antagonists are highly effective in models of focal cerebral ischemia, such as the rat middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) model, 3 but appear to be less effective in models of global cerebral i~ chemia.~ In contrast, non-NMDA glutamate receptor antagonists such as NBQX [2, 3-di-hydroxy-6-nitro-7-sulfamoyl-benzo (f) quinoxaline] are highly effective in rat models of global cerebral is~ hemia,~ but are much less effective in models of focal cerebral ischemia.Prevention of glutamate release by blockade of the presynaptic voltage-sensitive ion channels controlling exocytosis may, at an early stage in the pathophysiological cascade, abort the process leading to nerve cell death. 4.6* 7 A blocker of glutamate release, by acting at an earlier stage of the process, should prevent excessive activation of both NMDA and non-NMDA glutamate receptor subclasses and may combine
