Although the function of the kainate receptors in the brain is still not clear, they are increasingly defined as targets in the development of new classes of anti-epileptics. The thienopyrimidines described in this report were tested for their antagonistic effect at the kainate receptor subtypes GluR5 and GluR6. The highest effectiveness was obtained by a 4-ethoxy-thieno[2,3-d]pyrimidin with an IC50 = 68 microM at the GluR6 receptor.
