Structure-activity relationship study of novel NR2B-selective antagonists with arylamides to avoid reactive metabolites formation

Bioorg Med Chem Lett. 2007 Oct 15;17(20):5537-42. doi: 10.1016/j.bmcl.2007.08.033. Epub 2007 Aug 19.

Abstract

A novel potent NMDA-NR2B selective antagonist without the reactive metabolites formation issue was identified. Through this study, a close correlation between reactive metabolites formation and calculated HOMO energies of parent compounds was found.
