We have previously demonstrated that the prototypical GABAB receptor agonist baclofen inhibits transient lower esophageal sphincter relaxations (TLESRs), the most important mechanism for gastroesophageal reflux. Thus, GABAB agonists could be exploited for the treatment of gastroesophageal reflux disease. However, baclofen, which is used as an antispastic agent, and other previously known GABAB agonists can produce CNS side effects such as sedation, dizziness, nausea, and vomiting at higher doses. We now report the discovery of atypical GABAB agonists devoid of classical GABAB agonist related CNS side effects at therapeutic doses and the optimization of this type of compound for inhibition of TLESRs, which has resulted in a candidate drug (R)-7 (AZD3355) that is presently being evaluated in man.

The present invention relates to new substituted imidazole compounds and pharmaceutically acceptable salts, esters or prodrugs thereof, compositions of the derivatives together with pharmaceutically acceptable carriers, and uses of the compounds. The compounds of the invention have the following general formula:

Reaction of N,N-dibenzyl-O-methylsulfonyl serine methyl ester with a variety of heteronucleophiles (sodium azide, sodium phthalimide, amines, thiols) and carbanions (sodium malonate) gave, via an aziridinium intermediate, the corresponding β-amino or α,β-

The synthesis of the pyrrolidine α-glycosidase inhibitor 1,4-dideoxy-1,4-imino-D-arabinitol (DAB-1) was discussed. The synthesis used serine-derived α-dibenzylamino aldehyde in a highly diastereoselective glycolate aldol reaction. The glycolate derivative of Evans' oxazolidinone compound was found to be prepared using benzyl-oxyacetyl chloride and 4-benzyloxazolidin-2-one. The analysis showed that the deprotection of the N-benzyl protecting groups was completed within the first 2-3 h of the reaction.

The naturally occurring cyclopeptide alkaloid sanjoinine G1 and its C- 11 epimer were synthesized in 18 steps from D-serine. The key steps in the synthesis were the formation of the alkylaryl ether linkage via an S(N)Ar reaction with 4-fluorobenzonitrile
