title: Synthesis and pharmacological activity of O-(5-isoxazolyl)-L-serine.
abstract: A novel isoxazole derivative, O-(5-isoxazolyl)-L-serine (OIS, 1), was synthesized by a Mitsunobu reaction of isoxazolin-5-one (4) with N-Boc-L-serine tert-butyl ester (5) and subsequent deprotection of the coupling product. Its structure was elucidated by spectroscopic analyses. The pharmacological activity of 1 was also examined with cloned glutamate receptors and transporters using a Xenopus oocyte-expressing system showing substrate activity on an excitatory amino acid carrier 1 (EAAC 1) as a glutamate transporter.
