Abstract

A series of 1-aryl-1, 2, 3, 4-tetrahydroisoquinoline and 8-methyl-1-aryl-1, 2, 3, 4- tetrahydroisoquinoline derivatives was evaluated for affinity to the PCP binding site of the NMDA receptor complex. The (S)-configurated tetrahydroisoquinoline derivative (S)-4e· HCl bearing a 2-methylphenyl substituent in position 1 of the heterocyclic ring system and a methyl group in position 8 was found to exhibit the highest affinity among the derivatives ...
