In this paper we report the synthesis of new azabicycloalkane scaffolds, which could be exploited to obtain cRGD-based bioconjugates that may find promising application for targeted drug delivery, theranostic, and general cancer-cell labeling. By exploiti

Syntheses of both the α-methyl and benzyl analogs of quisqualic acid are described. Testing of these compounds for their activity at excitatory amino acid receptors revealed a striking change in activity in comparison to quisqualic acid. This structural modification results in the loss of quisqualate's potent agonist action at both non-NMDA ionotropic glutamate receptors as well as at group I mGluRs, while allowing these analogs to acquire antagonist properties with relative selectivity for group II metabotropic glutamate receptors.
