Abstract

Provided are a compound for adjusting the activity of an NMDA receptor, and a pharmaceutical composition and the use thereof. In particular, provided are a compound as represented by formula I, a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or ester, a stereoisomer, or a solvate thereof. The compound has the effect of enhancing the activity of the NMDA receptor, and can be used to prepare drugs for preventing/treating depression, anxiety disorder, tension, learning and cognitive defects, neuropathic pain and other diseases,
