title: Excitatory amino acid receptor ligands: asymmetric synthesis, absolute stereochemistry and pharmacology of (R)- and (S)-homoibotenic acid.
abstract: The (R)- and (S)-forms of 2-amino-3-(3-hydroxyisoxazol-5-yl)propionic acid (homoibotenic acid, HIBO) were synthesized, using (S)-BOC-phenylalanine as a chiral auxiliary and their absolute stereochemistry correlated with that of (R)-Br-HIBO. The enantiomeric excesses for (R)-HIBO (1) (> 99.5%) and (S)-HIBO (2) (99.5%) were determined using chiral HPLC. Whereas compounds 1 and 2 were equipotent inhibitors of the binding of [3H]glutamic acid in the presence of calcium chloride, 2 showed AMPA agonist activity and 1 very weak NMDA agonist activity.
