Abstract

Several 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid derivatives were prepared and tested for activity at the glycine-binding site of the N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor complex. Structural modifications involved the amino group, the carboxylic function or position 2 of the ring. When tested in a [3H]-MK-801 binding assay in the presence of glutamic acid, some of the compounds were able to activate the receptor. Two of them (3e and 6) are selective ...
