A rational approach to the design of selective substrates and potent nontransportable inhibitors of the excitatory amino acid transporter EAAC1 (EAAT3). New glutamate and aspartate analogues as potential neuroprotective agents

Article abstract of DOI:10.1021/jm015509z

Two three-dimensional receptor interaction models for EAAT substrates and nontransportable inhibitors have been developed, and new glutamate (Glu) and aspartate (Asp) analogues have been synthesized. The analogues 1a and 3 represent novel lead compounds f
