Abstract
Syntheses of a series of enantiomerically pure, substituted analogues 7b–t of SDZ EAB 515 (7a) were described (Schemes 1 and 2). Affinites for the NMDA receptor were measured ([^3^H]CGP‐39653 binding assay) and competitive NMDA antagonistic potencies determined in a functional test (rat neocortical slice preparation). Structure‐activity relationships show that attachment of an OH group at position 4 of the chain‐inserted benzene ring of the biphenyl moiety and/or expansion of the angle between the planes of the two benzene rings by ortho‐substituents increase in vitro activities into the low nanomolar range.
