Nr. Curtis et al., SYNTHESIS AND SAR OF DIIODOTYROSINE-DERIVED GLYCINE-SITE N-METHYL-D-ASPARTATE RECEPTOR LIGANDS, Bioorganic & medicinal chemistry letters, 6(10), 1996, pp. 1145-1150
A series of analogues of the novel diiodotyrosine derived NMDA glycine
-site ligand (R)-4 was prepared in which the aryl substitution, chain
length and amino acid groups were varied. The key structural features
for binding are the alpha-amino acid function, having the (R) absolute
stereochemistry, the 3,5-diiodo substituted aromatic ring and a lipop
hilic group attached at the phenolic oxygen of the tyrosine moiety. (C
