Synthesis and biological evaluation of cyclopropyl analogs of 2-amino-5-phosphonopentanoic acid
摘要:
A series of cyclopropyl analogues related to 2-amino-5-phosphonopentanoic acid (AP5) were synthesized and their biological activity was assessed as competitive antagonists for the N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor. In vitro receptor binding using [H-3]-L-glutamate as the radioligand provided affinity data, while modulation of [H-3]MK-801 binding was used as a functional assay. The analogues were also evaluated in [H-3]kainate binding to assess selectivity over non-NMDA glutamate receptors. Of the compounds tested, 4,5-methano-AP5 analogue 26 was the most potent selective NMDA antagonist; however, potency was lower than that for [[(+/-)-2-carboxypiperidin-4-yl]methyl]phosphonic acid (CGS 19755, 5).

catalyzes the enantioselective oxidation of cyclopropylmethanols. This finding enables a novel route to the synthesis of optically active cyclopropane derivatives, which occur widely in natural products and compounds of pharmaceutical interest. In addition, chiral cyclopropane molecules may be useful model substrates to investigate reaction mechanisms of CPO and the related cytochromesP450.
