The present invention provides compositions and methods for prevention and prophylaxis of neurological diseases accompanied by neuronal death. The invention includes synthesis of 5-benzylamino salicylic acid (BAS) and its derivatives. BAS and its derivatives protect cortical neurons from toxic insults by N-methyl-D-aspartate, Zn.sup.2+, and reactive oxygen species. Thus, the present invention provides compositions and methods for treating stroke, traumatic brain and spinal cord injury, epilepsy, and neurodegenerative diseases that are accompanied by severe neuronal loss via excitotoxicity, Zn.sup.2+ neurotoxicity, and free radical neurotoxicity.

De onderhavige uitvinding verstrekt samenstellingen en methodes voor preventie en profylaxe van neurologische ziekten die van neuronendood vergezeld gaan. De uitvinding omvat synthese van 5-benzylamino salicylic zuur (BAS) en zijn derivaten. BAS en zijn derivaten beschermen corticale neuronen tegen giftige beledigingen door N-methyl-D-aspartate, Zn.sup.2 +, en reactieve zuurstofsoorten. Aldus, verstrekt de onderhavige uitvinding samenstellingen en methodes om slag, traumatische hersenen en ruggemergverwonding, epilepsie, en neurodegenerative ziekten te behandelen die van streng neuronenverlies via excitotoxicity, Zn.sup.2 + neurotoxiciteit, en vrije basisneurotoxiciteit vergezeld gaan.
