title: Fructose-fused gamma-butyrolactones and lactams, synthesis and biological evaluation as GABA receptor ligands.
abstract: We describe the synthesis of sugar-fused beta-disubstituted gamma-butyrolactones, gamma-butyrolactams and a lipophilic beta-disubstituted GABA analogue as potential GABA receptor ligands, where the pharmacophore is engineered into the carbohydrate scaffold in the form of a C-fructoside. The products were characterized for receptor binding studies of GABA(A) receptors.
