Tezampanel (LY-293,558) is a drug developed by Eli Lilly [Gilron I. LY-293558. Eli Lilly & Co. "Current Opinion in Investigational Drugs". 2001 Sep;2(9):1273-8. PMID 11717815] which acts as an antagonist at the AMPA and Kainate familes of ionotropic glutamate receptors, [Ornstein PL, Arnold MB, Augenstein NK, Lodge D, Leander JD, Schoepp DD. (3SR,4aRS,6RS,8aRS)-6- [2-(1H-tetrazol-5-yl)ethyl] decahydroisoquinoline-3 - carboxylic acid: a structurally novel, systemically active, competitive AMPA receptor antagonist. "Journal of Medicinal Chemistry". 1993 Jul 9;36(14):2046-8. PMID 8393116] [Schoepp DD, Lodge D, Bleakman D, Leander JD, Tizzano JP, Wright RA, Palmer AJ, Salhoff CR, Ornstein PL. In vitro and in vivo antagonism of AMPA receptor activation by (3S, 4aR, 6R, 8aR)-6- [2-(1(2)H-tetrazole-5-yl) ethyl] decahydroisoquinoline-3-carboxylic acid. Neuropharmacology. 1995 Sep;34(9):1159-68. PMID 8532186] with selectivity for the GluR5 subtype of the kainate receptor.

"Molecular Pharmacology". 1996 Apr;49(4):581-5. PMID 8609884] It has neuroprotective [Bullock R, Graham DI, Swanson S, McCulloch J. Neuroprotective effect of the AMPA receptor antagonist LY-293558 in focal cerebral ischemia in the cat. "Journal of Cerebral Blood Flow and Metabolism". 1994 May;14(3):466-71. PMID 8163588] and anticonvulsant effects by blocking calcium uptake into neurons. [Liljequist S, Cebers G, Kalda A.

Tezampanel has a range of effects which may be useful for medicinal purposes, as well as its applications in scientific research. It suppresses both the withdrawal symptoms from morphine and other opioids, [Rasmussen K, Kendrick WT, Kogan JH, Aghajanian GK. A selective AMPA antagonist, LY293558, suppresses morphine withdrawal-induced activation of locus coeruleus neurons and behavioral signs of morphine withdrawal. "Neuropsychopharmacology". 1996 Nov;15(5):497-505. PMID 8914123] [Kest B, McLemore G, Kao B, Inturrisi CE. The competitive alpha-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methylisoxazole-4-propionate receptor antagonist LY293558 attenuates and reverses analgesic tolerance to morphine but not to delta or kappa opioids.

The effects of LY293558, an AMPA receptor antagonist, on acute and chronic morphine dependence. "Brain Research". 1997 Dec 5;778(1):120-6. PMID 9462883] and the development of tolerance, [Carlezon WA Jr, Rasmussen K, Nestler EJ. AMPA antagonist LY293558 blocks the development, without blocking the expression, of behavioral sensitization to morphine. "Synapse". 1999 Mar 15;31(4):256-62. PMID 10051106] as well as having antihyperalgesic [Sang CN, Hostetter MP, Gracely RH, Chappell AS, Schoepp DD, Lee G, Whitcup S, Caruso R, Max MB.

PMID 9821993] and analgesic effects in its own right. [Gilron I, Max MB, Lee G, Booher SL, Sang CN, Chappell AS, Dionne RA.

"Anesthesia and Analgesia". 2007 Oct;105(4):1152-9. PMID 17898404] It also has anxiolytic effects in animal studies and has been suggested as a candidate for the treatment of anxiety in humans. [Alt A, Weiss B, Ogden AM, Li X, Gleason SD, Calligaro DO, Bleakman D, Witkin JM. In vitro and in vivo studies in rats with LY293558 suggest AMPA/kainate receptor blockade as a novel potential mechanism for the therapeutic treatment of anxiety disorders.
