摘要:
                                Relative to other polycyclic frameworks (1-3), a carborane cage (4 and Cs center dot 5) exerts a significant biological effect as an inhibitor of the purinergic P2X(7) receptor (P2X(7)R) which allows one to target depression in vivo and thus demonstrate, for the first time, that a carborane has the capacity to modify CNS activity.[GRAPHICS]
