Bioorg Med Chem Lett. 2011 Jun 15;21(12):3764-6. doi: 10.1016/j.bmcl.2011.04.045. Epub 2011 Apr 30.

Abstract

A new series of glycine-derived ligands of the α(2)δ subunit of voltage gated calcium channels is described. Several novel compounds (7) based on (6) were prepared that possessed a potency <100 nM in the α(2)δ binding assay.
