Popis: A series of novel spiroisoindolines was designed and synthesized as potential noncompetitive NMDA antagonists. Affinities of these compounds for the noncompetitive NMDA binding site were determined using [3H]TCP and found to possess IC50s ranging from 0.065 to 17μM. In vivo testing of 2′-methylspiro-[4,5,6,7-tetrahydrobenzothiophene-4,1′-(1,3-dihydroisoindole)] (43) showed it to antagonize NMDA-induced convulsions, to be neuroprotective in a gerbil model of ischemia, and not to generalize to MK-801 in a drug discrimination paradigm.
