Seven Δ3-4-arylkainoids possessing various 4-position aromatic and heteroaromatic groups were synthesized and their apparent affinities were measured in order to explore the influences of 4-position electron density and stereochemistry on receptor affinity and specificity. Kainoids 1a-f were shown to be selective agonists at the NMDA receptor and the electron rich furanyl and thienyl analogues exhibited the highest affinities. Naphthylkainoid 1g proved to be a nonselective antagonist at the iGluRs. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
