The renewal of interest in excitatory amino acids in the 1980s has
altered the direction of neurobiology. L-Glutamate, widely regarded
as a general perpetu- ator of nonspecific excitation, has become
generally regarded as a widely dis- tributed and important
neurotransmitter in the CNS. In the past three decades evidence has
accumulated that excitatory amino acids are involved in many
neurological diseases and that pharmacological intervention may
offer pros- pects of novel and more effective therapies. Numerous
studies on experimen- tal animals demonstrate that excitatory amino
acid antagonists have anxio- lytic, antiepileptic and muscle
relaxant effects. Particular interest has developed in the possible
neuroprotective efficacy of excitatory amino acid receptor
antagonists in neurological diseases such as hypoxia/ischemia,
hypo- glycemia, epilepsy, and chronic neurodegenerative disorders
(Huntington's, Alzheimer's, and Parkinson's disease, amyotrophic
lateral sclerosis, and AIDS). Thus, the drugs changing
neurotransmission mediated by excitatory amino acids possess
potential therapeutic value. This volume is part of the Schering
Research Foundation Workshop Series. It is the goal of the Schering
Research Foundation to promote the asso- ciation between industrial
and basic research. The support and the organiza- tion of highly
qualified symposia belong to the armamentarium by which this
purpose is fulfilled, and we are convinced that the workshop
"Excitatory Amino Acids and Second Messenger Systems" has
contributed to this. Gunter Stock Ursula-F.
