“…This feature is highly relevant for developing a novel class of steroid‐based NMDA‐inhibitor therapeutics, which lack the side effects that plague the use of classical NMDA receptor inhibitors, including ketamine and congeners. Based on this mechanism of action, a number of PAS analogues have been recently synthesized, including the amide‐based analogues (Adla et al, ) and pregnanolone hemipimelate that has no action at phasic and synaptic NMDA receptors but shows a strong selectivity (several folds higher than PAS) in inhibiting tonic‐activated receptors (Vyklicky et al, ).…”

“…Compound 13 was prepared according to the literature: ( Adla et al, 2017 ) in brief, commercially available 3β-hydroxy-5β-androstane was treated with phthalimide and triphenylphosphine, followed by deprotection of the amino group in hydrazine hydrate, to give 3α-amino derivative 13. Compounds 1 and 2 were prepared according to the literature ( Adla et al, 2017 ) by treatment of compound 13 with the monoethyl ester of oxalic acid and methyl 3-chloro-3-oxopropionate, respectively, followed by basic hydrolysis. Analogously, compounds 3 and 4 were prepared by treatment of compound 13 with methyl 4-chloro-4-oxobutyrate and methyl 5-chloro-5-oxovalerate, respectively, affording compounds 14 in 79% and 15 in 83% yield.…”

“…Deprotection of the benzyl ether protecting group was achieved by hydrogenation catalyzed by palladium on carbon (compound 5, 65% yield and 7, 98% yield). Then, treatment of Boc-protected aspartate 5 and glutamate 7 with trifluoroacetic acid gave desired products 6 and 8 in 91% and 92% yield, respectively ( Adla et al, 2017 ).…”

“…An unexpected outcome of the work was the identification of potent and efficacious analogues (Figure 1), which suggest new aspects of the structure-activity relationship between steroids and NMDARs. Previous work has explored mostly steroid inhibitors of NMDAR function (Adla et al, 2017). Based on the strong activity of multiple analogues with a hydrophobic side chain, we conclude that side chain hydrophobicity is likely to increase potentiation.…”
