ABSTRACT

Four stereoisomers of (2S)-2-(2'-phosphono-3'-phenylcyclopropyl)glycine were synthesized by a stereocontrolled synthetic procedure and evaluated as mGluRs ligands. The (2S,1'R,2'S,3'R)-isomer (PPCG-2) showed to be a group III mGluRs selective ligand endowed with a moderate potency as mGluR4/mGluR6 agonist.
