Abstract
Benzo[7]annulen-7-amines 7 without further polar substituents have been reported as conformationally restricted Ro 25-6981 analogs and show unexpectedly high GluN2B affinity. Herein the corresponding 2-NO2 derivatives 8 were synthesized and pharmacologically evaluated. NO2 derivatives 8 show 5- to 10-fold higher GluN2B affinity than the unsubstituted ligands 7. Docking studies of ligands 7c and 8c reveal an important contribution of the 2-NO2-substituent in determining the binding pose and modulating the GluN2B affinity.Entities:
