Computational modeling demonstrates that the van-der-Waals surfaces of homocubyl amines are similar to that of the neuroprotector Memantine . Utilizing readily available precursors we report the preparation of a series of homological cubylamines, namely pentacyclo[6.3.0. 02,6.03,10.05,9]undecyl-4-amine (trishomocubyl-4-amine, 2), pentacyclo[5.3.0.02,5.0 3,9.04,8]decyl-10-amine (bishomocubyl-10-amine, 3), pentacyclo[4.3.0.02,5.03,8.04,7]nonyl-9-amine (homocubyl-9-amine, 4), and pentacyclo[4.2.0.02,5.0 3,8.04,7]octyl-1-amine (cubylamine, 5). The hydrochlorides of amines 2-5 show pronounced affinity for the (+)MK-801 channel binding site, and it seems likely that these compounds would act as very fast voltage-dependent NMDA receptor antagonists.
