The two enantiomeric pairs of erythro- and threo-amino-(3'-hydroxy-4',5'-dihydro-isoxazol-5'-yl)-acetic acids were synthesized via the 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition of bromonitrile oxide to (R)- or (S)-3-(tert-butoxycarbonyl)2,2-dimethyl-4-vinyloxazolidine. The pharmacological profiles of the studied amino acids reflect the relationship between the activity/selectivity and the stereochemistry of the two stereogenic centers: while the (2S,5'S) stereoisomer is an agonist at the AMPA and KA receptors, its (2R,5'R) enantiomer interacts selectively with the NMDA receptors; the (2S,5'R) stereoisomer is the only one capable to activate the mGluRs.
