title: Synthesis and resolution of racemic eliprodil and evaluation of the enantiomers of eliprodil as NMDA receptor antagonists.
abstract: A short synthesis of the NMDA receptor antagonist (rac)-Eliprodil (9) and its resolution into the enantiomers by chiral HPLC is described. The enantiomers (R)-9 and (S)-9 were found to exhibit markedly different affinities for NR2B subunit containing NMDA receptors.
