Primary cultures of embryonic cortical cells were used to test the neuroprotective effect of two novel noncompetitive N-methyl-D-aspartate antagonists against the neurotoxicity of glutamate. These two compounds, GK 11 and GK 222, are phencyclidine derivatives that contain asymetric carbon atoms. We
Extracellular levels of endogenous glutamate are relatively high in the developing rabbit retina but nonetheless appear to promote cell survival and developmental processes at concentrations considered toxic in the adult. We wished to examine the development of retinal susceptibility to glutamate to
