Abstract

Use of a compound of the formula (1), wherein X is an alkylene chain comprising 0, 1, 2, 3 or 4 carbon atoms; R 1 , R 2 and R 3 are independently selected from hydrogen, alkyl and aryl; R 4 , R 5 and R 6 are independently selected from hydrogen, alkyl, aryl, halogen and alkoxy; and prodrugs thereof and pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof; in the manufacture of a medicament for use in the treatment of a condition generally associated with abnormalities in glutamatergic transmission.

         4 . Use of a compound according to  claim 2  wherein a substituted carbon atom is substituted by two substituent groups independently selected from allyl and aryl.  
     
     
         5 . Use of a compound according to  claim 2 ,  3  or  4  wherein the substituent group(s) are selected from methyl, ethyl, phenyl and benzyl.  
     
     
         6 . Use of a compound according to  claim 2 ,  3 ,  4  or  5  wherein one carbon atom of the chain X is substituted.  
     
     
         7 . Use of a compound according to  claim 1  wherein X is (CH 2 ) n  where n=0 to 4.  
     
     
         8 . Use of a compound according to any one of  claims 1  to  7  wherein X is an alkylene chain comprising 1 or 2 carbon atoms in the chain.  
     
     
         9 . Use of a compound according to  claim 7  wherein n=0.  
     
     
         10 . Use of a compound according to any preceding claim wherein R 1  and R 2  are hydrogen and R 3  is selected from hydrogen, alkyl and aryl.  
     
     
         11 . Use of a compound according to any preceding claim wherein R 1 , R 2  and R 3  are hydrogen.  
     
     
         12 . Use of a compound according to any one of  claims 1  to  11  wherein at least one of R 4 , R 5  and R 6  is alkyl, aryl halogen or alkoxy.  
     
     
         13 . Use of a compound according to any one of  claims 1  to  12  wherein R 4  is selected from hydrogen, allyl and halogen.  
     
     
         14 . Use of a compound according to any one of  claims 1  to  13  wherein R 5  is selected from hydrogen and alkyl.  
     
     
         15 . Use of a compound according to any one of  claims 1  to  14  wherein R 6  is selected from hydrogen and alkyl.
