Abstract: A novel series of annulated tricyclic compounds was synthesized and evaluated as NMDA/NR2B antagonists. Structure-activity development was directed towards in vitro optimization of NR2B activity and selectivity over the hERG K(+) channel. Preferred compounds were subsequently evaluated for selectivity in an alpha(1)-adrenergic receptor binding counter-screen and a cell-based assay of NR2B activity.
