Abstract

As part of the vital search towards improved therapeutic agents for the treatment of neuropathic pain, the central nervous system glutamate receptors have become a major focus of research. Outlined herein are the syntheses of two new biologically active 3'-cycloalkyl-substituted carboxycyclopropylglycines, utilizing novel synthetic chemistry. The reaction between substituted 1,2-dioxines and an aminophosphonate furnished the cyclopropane core in a single step with all required stereochemistry of pendant groups. In vitro binding assays at metabotropic glutamate receptors revealed selective activity. In vivo testing in a rodent model of neuropathic pain indicated one amino acid significantly and dose-dependently decreased mechanical allodynia. (C) 2010 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
