Identification of a novel NR2B-selective NMDA receptor antagonist using a virtual screening approach

Bioorg Med Chem Lett. 2010 Sep 15;20(18):5552-8. doi: 10.1016/j.bmcl.2010.07.043. Epub 2010 Jul 15.

Abstract

We report the identification of a novel NR2B-selective NMDAR antagonist with an original scaffold, LSP10-0500. This compound was identified by a virtual high-throughput screening approach on the basis of a quantitative pharmacophore model of NR2B-specific NMDAR antagonists. A SAR study around LSP10-0500 is also described.
