Abstract
A series of N1-substituted derivatives of (2R,4R)-4-aminopyrrolidine-2,4-dicarboxylate (2R,4R-APDC) has been prepared as constrained analogs of gamma-substituted glutamic acids and examined for their effects at recombinant metabotropic glutamate receptor (mGluR) subtypes in vitro. Appropriate substitution of the N1 position of 2R,4R-APDC resulted in the identification of a number of selective group II mGluR antagonists.
