Negative allosteric modulation of NMDA receptors with GluN2B subunit: synthesis of γ-amino alcohols embedded in a 1-benzoxepine scaffold
Novel ligands for the ifenprodil binding site of NMDA receptors with GluN2B subunit were designed, synthesized and pharmacologically evaluated. Derived from potent negative allosteric modulators, the γ-amino alcohol pharmacophore was conformationally restricted by embedding it into a 1-benzoxepine ring. Furthermore, th...
