    Abstract

    Novel (E)-N1-(benzyl)cinnamamidines were prepared and evaluated as NR2B subtype NMDA receptor ligands. Excellent affinity was achieved by appropriate substitution of either phenyl ring. The 2-methoxybenzyl compound 1h had ∼1000-fold lower IC50 in NR2B than NR2A-containing cells. Replacement of the styryl unit by 2-naphthyl was well tolerated. © 2003 Elsevier Science Ltd.
