Certain 1-aminoalkylcyclohexanes are systemically-active uncompetitive NMDA receptor antagonists having rapid blocking/unblocking kinetics and strong voltage-dependency and are therefore useful in the alleviation of conditions resulting from disturbances of glutamatergic transmission giving them a wide range of utility in the treatment of CNS disorders involving the same, as well as in non-NMDA indications, due to their immunomodulatory, antimalarial, anti-Borna virus, and anti-Hepatitis C activities and utilities. Pharmaceutical compositions thereof and a method-of-treating conditions which are alleviated by the employment of an NMDA receptor antagonist, as well as the aforementioned non-NMDA indications, and a method for the preparation of the active 1-aminoalkylcyclohexane compounds involved.

Certain 1-cyclic amino-alkylcyclohexanes selected from the group consisting of those of formula (I) wherein R* is -(CH2)n-(CR6R7)m-NR8R9; wherein n+m=0,1, or 2; wherein R1 through R7 are independently selected from the group consisting of hydrogen and lower-alkyl (1-6c), at least R?1, R4, and R5¿ being lower-alkyl, and wherein R?8 and R9¿ together represent lower-alkylene -(CH¿2?)x- wherein x is 2 to 5, inclusive, and enantiomers, optical isomers, hydrates, and pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof, are systemically active uncompetitive NMDA receptor antagonists and are therefore useful in the alleviation of conditions resulting from disturbances of glutamatergic transmission. More importantly, these compounds exhibit outstanding anticonvulsant and anti-seizure activity which is not shared by closely-related noncyclic amino compounds. Pharmaceutical compositions thereof and a method-of-treating conditions which are alleviated by the employment of the same, especially the alleviation of convulsions and seizures, and method for the preparation of the active 1-cyclic amino-alkylcyclohexane compounds involved and the manufacture of medicaments therefrom.
