Resumo

Abstract The design and synthesis of new N1‐substituted 3‐carboxy‐ and 3‐phosphonopyrazoline and pyrazole amino acids that target the glutamate binding site of NMDA receptors are described. An analysis of the stereochemical requirements for high‐affinity interaction with these receptors was performed. We identified two highly potent and selective competitive NMDA receptor antagonists, (5 S ,α R )‐ 1 and (5 S ,α R )‐ 4 , which exhibit good in vitro neuroprotective activity and in vivo anticonvulsant activity by i.p. administration, suggesting that these molecules may have potential use as therapeutic agents.
