Aptiganel (Cerestat; CNS-1102) was a drug candidate that acted as a noncompetitive NMDA antagonist and that was under development by Cambridge Neuroscience, Inc as a treatment for stroke.[1] It has neuroprotective effects and was researched for potential use in the treatment of stroke,[2] but despite positive results in animal studies,[3] human trials showed limited efficacy,[4] as well as undesirable side effects such as sedation and hallucinations,[5][6] and clinical development was ultimately not continued.[7]
The drug's failure led to the collapse of Cambridge Neuroscience in 1998[8] and its eventually sale to CeNeS Pharmaceuticals in 2000.[9]
Synthesis[edit]
1-Naphthylamine is reacted with cyanogen bromide to give 2. Treatment of this intermediate with 3-ethyl-N-methylaniline leads to addition to the cyano group and formation of the corresponding diaryl guanidine, aptiganel, 3.
