Four omega-benzoylated (E)-2,10-diamino-4-(phosphonomethyl)dec-3-enoic
acids have been synthesized and tested in vitro for binding affinity
to the glutamate recognition site of the NMDA (N-methyl-D-aspartate) r
eceptor. The omega-4-azidosalicylamide derivative 24 was iodinated to
give the photoaffinity ligand 25 (CGP 55802 A) which showed an IC50 va
lue of 34 nM in the in vitro [H-3]CGP 39653 binding assay. This compou
nd and its radioactive I-125-form are the first photoaffinity ligands
for the NMDA receptor with high affinity to the glutamate recognition
site.
