An efficient and divergent synthesis of C4α- and C4β-methyl- substituted analogues of 2-aminobicyclo[3.1.0]hexane 2,6-dicarboxylate, which are important tools in the study of metabotropic glutamate receptor function, has been achieved. By taking advantage

LY354740 (1) is a highly potent and selective agonist of metabotropic glutamate (mGlu) receptors 2 and 3. In the present study, we have prepared C3- and C4-methyl-substituted variants of rac-1, compounds 5, 9, and 13. Each of these racemic methyl-substituted analogues displaced specific binding of the mGlu2/3 receptor antagonist 3H-2S-2-amino-2-(1S,2S-2- carboxycycloprop-l-yl)-3-(xanth-9-yl)propanoic acid (3H-LY341495) from membranes expressing mGlu2 or mGlu3 receptor subtypes. Evaluation of the functional effects of this series on second messenger responses in cells expressing human mGlu2 or mGlu3 receptors revealed C3β-methyl analogue 5 to possess antagonist properties at both mGlu2 and mGlu3 receptors while C4β-methyl analogue 9 acts as a full agonist at each of these targets. Unexpectedly, we found that incorporation of a methyl substituent at the C4α-position as in analogue 13 results in a mixed mGlu2 agonist/mGlu3 antagonist pharmacological profile. All of the mGlu2 agonist and mGlu3 antagonist activity of rac-13 was found to reside in its resolved (+)-isomer.
