Abstract

Compounds, compositions and methods of treatment are described to control brain damage associated with anoxia or ischemia which typically follows stroke, cardiac arrest or perinatal asphyxia. The treatment includes administration of an N-(1-thienylcycloalkyl)alkenylamine compound as an antagonist to inhibit excitotoxic actions at major neuronal excitatory amino acid receptor sites. Compounds of most interest are those of the formula ##STR1## wherein R.sup.1, R.sup.2, and R.sup.5 are defined in specification.
