Abstract :
New N-heteroarylcarbonylalanines of the d-series were stereoselectively prepared from enoates derived from d-mannitol. These compounds were active in binding and functional assays of the NMDA sub-type of glutamate receptors. A pyridine derivative inhibited MK801 binding, protected neurons from excitotoxic damage and blocked NMDA-induced currents in neurons. A thiophene derivative positively modulated the NMDA receptor, possibly through the allosteric glycine site.
