title: Functionalized amino acid anticonvulsants: synthesis and pharmacological evaluation of conformationally restricted analogues.
abstract: Proven conformationally restricted analogues of anticonvulsant functionalized amino acids (FAAs) were prepared using short-range cyclizations and evaluated in pharmacological assays providing new information concerning the structural requirements for FAA function.
