Abstract
Five derivatives of 2aminoadipic acid bearing a tetrazolesubstituted in C5 position were synthesized These compounds displayed selective antagonism towards Nmethyldaspartate NMDA receptors compared with AMPA receptors and they were devoid of any neurotoxicity Among these five analogues one exhibited a higher affinity for synaptic NMDA responses than the other four Therefore C5 tetrazolesubstituted of 2aminoadipic acid represent an interesting series of new NMDA receptor antagonists This approach may be considered as a new strategy to develop ligands specifically targeted to synaptic or extrasynaptic NMDA receptors
