Abstract
N-methyl-D-aspartate receptors (NMDARs) play essential roles in vital aspects of brain functions. NMDARs mediate clinical features of neurological diseases and thus, represent a potential therapeutic target for their treatments. Many findings implicated the GluN2B subunit of NMDARs in various neurological disorders including epilepsy, ischemic brain damage, and neurodegenerative disorders such as Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer's disease, Huntington's chorea, and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. Although a large amount of information is growing consistently on the importance of GluN2B subunit, however, limited recent data is available on how subunit-selective ligands impact NMDAR functions, which blunts the ability to render the diagnosis or craft novel treatments tailored to patients. To bridge this gap, we have focused on and summarized recently reported GluN2B selective ligands as emerging subunit-selective antagonists and modulators of NMDAR. Herein, we have also presented an overview of the structure-function relationship for potential GluN2B/NMDAR ligands with their binding sites and connection to CNS functionalities. Understanding of design rules and roles of GluN2B selective compounds will provide the link to medicinal chemists and neuroscientists to explore novel neurotherapeutic strategies against dysfunctions of glutamatergic neurotransmission.

Abstract
Antagonists at σ1 receptors have great potential for the treatment of neuropathic pain. Starting from monoterpene (-)-isopulegol (1), aminodiols 8-11 were obtained and transformed into bicyclic 13-16 and tricyclic ligands 19-22. Aminodiols 8-11 showed higher σ1 affinity than the corresponding bicyclic 13-16 and tricyclic derivatives 19-22. (R)-configuration in the side chain of aminodiols (8 and 10) led to higher σ1 affinity than (S)-configuration (9 and 11). 4-Benzylpiperidines (b-series) revealed higher σ1 affinity than 4-phenylbutylamines (a-series). Aminodiol 8b showed very high σ1 affinity (Ki = 1.2 nM), excellent selectivity over σ2 receptors, and promising logD7.4 (3.05) and lipophilic ligand efficiency (5.87) values. Molecular dynamics simulations were conducted to analyze the σ1 affinity and selectivity on an atomistic level. In the capsaicin assay, 8b exhibited similar antiallodynic activity to the prototypical σ1 antagonist S1RA. The antiallodynic activity of 8b was removed by co-application of the σ1 agonist PRE-084, proving σ1 antagonism being involved in the antiallodynic effect.

Abstract
Tricyclic tetrahydrooxazolo[4,5-h]-[3]benzazepin-9-ols 22 were designed as phenol bioisosteres of tetrahydro-3-benzazepine-1,7-diols. Key features of the synthesis are the introduction of the trifluoromethylsulfonyl and allyl protective groups at the heterocyclic N-atoms. Two methods were developed to convert the triflyl-protected ketone 16 into tricyclic alcohols 21 bearing various N-substituents. According to the first method, trifluoromethanesulfinate was removed by K2 CO3 . Following the selective reduction of the imino moiety of 17 with NaBH(OAc)3 afforded the aminoketone 18, which was reductively alkylated and reduced. According to the second method, both the imine and the ketone of the iminoketone 17 were reduced with NaBH4 to yield the aminoalcohol 20, which was alkylated or reductively alkylated to form tertiary amines 21f-21r. In the last step, the allyl protective group of 21 was removed with RhCl3 and HCl to obtain oxazolones 22. In receptor binding studies using [3 H]ifenprodil as radioligand ketone, 22m showed the highest GluN2B affinity (Ki = 88 nM). However, a reduced affinity toward GluN2B subunit-containing N-methyl- d-aspartate (NMDA) receptors was observed for oxazolones 22 compared to bioisosteric 3-benzazepine-1,7-diols. High selectivity of 22m for the ifenprodil binding site of GluN2B-NMDA receptors over the 1-(1-phenylcyclohexyl)piperidine binding site and σ2 receptors was observed, but only negligible selectivity over σ1 receptors. In two-electrode voltage clamp experiments, the 4-phenylbutyl derivative 22d (Ki = 422 nM) demonstrated 80% inhibition of ion flux at a concentration of 1 µM. The differences in GluN2B affinity and inhibitory activity are explained by docking studies. In conclusion, 22d is regarded as a novel scaffold of highly potent GluN1/GluN2B antagonists.

Abstract
In recent reports, NR2B-NMDA receptor antagonists showed more research value because of its strong targeting ability and less side effects potential. In 2016, EVT-101 was reported to bind in an almost entirely new binding region of this target. Whether strikingly different binding modes can improve targeting and reduce side effects is worth studying. In our preliminary work, we explored the binding patterns of ifenprodil and EVT-101, found the key amino acids and summarized the pharmacophores, hoping to find such antagonists that target the two binding modes simultaneously. In this study, we developed a scalable virtual screening workflow in the FDA-approved drugs library to identify novel NR2B-NMDAR antagonists based on the combination of two pharmacophores. Cefpodoxime proxetil (5) was identified as the hit compound, and it was found for the first time that 5 might have neuroprotective activity as a NR2B-NMDAR antagonist. This result interested us to make further study, the ligand-receptor interactions modeled by molecular docking studies showed that the compound could perfectly merge both the pharmacophore characteristics of ifenprodil and EVT-101 at the binding cavity between the ATDs of GluN1 and GluN2B. The accuracy of molecular docking results and binding stability of ligand-receptor complexes were validated through 100 ns molecular dynamics simulation and binding free energy calculation. Afterwards, MTT assay (49.8%±0.1%, 5 μM) on NMDA injured SH-SY5Y cells and evidence of the effect on attenuating Ca2+ influx induced by NMDA were applied to validate the computational results, further investigation showed that 5 could suppress the NR2B upregulation induced by NMDA.

Abstract
Selective GluN2B/N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor (NMDAR) antagonists have exposed their clinical effectiveness in a cluster of neurodegenerative diseases, such as epilepsy, Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, pain, and depression. Hence, GluN2B/NMDARs are considered to be a prospective target for the management of neurodegenerative diseases. Here, we have discussed the current results and significance of subunit selective GluN2B/NMDAR antagonists to pave the way for the establishment of new, safe, and economical drug candidates in the near future. By using summarized data of selective GluN2B/NMDAR antagonists, medicinal chemists are certainly a step closer to the goal of improving the therapeutic and side effect profile of selective antagonists. Outlined summary of designing strategies, synthetic schemes, and pharmacological evaluation studies reinvigorate efforts to identify, modify, and synthesize novel GluN2B/NMDAR antagonists for treating neurodegenerative diseases.

Abstract
Carbon-carbon (C-C) bonds constitute basic skeletons in most organic molecules. One can imagine that selective manipulation of C-C bonds would provide a direct approach to edit or alter molecular scaffolds but has been an ongoing challenge. Due to the kinetic inertness of C-C bonds, the common strategies of activating these bonds by transition metals rely on either the use of highly strained substrates or the assistance of a permanent directing group (DG), in which strain relief or formation of stable metallocycles becomes the driving force. To allow more common and less strained compounds utilized as substrates for C-C activation, the use of temporary and removable DGs has emerged as an attractive strategy in the past two decades. A variety of C-C bonds in unstrained or less strained organic molecules now can be converted to more reactive metal-carbon bonds, and further downstream transformations have led to diverse synthetic methods. This review highlights the development of catalytic approaches that can activate unstrained C-C bonds enabled by temporary or removable DGs. The content is mainly divided based on the nature of the DGs: temporary and removable. Applications of these methods in syntheses of natural products or bioactive molecules are also discussed.

Abstract
Because of their neuroprotective potential, GluN2B-selective ligands are of great interest for the treatment of various neurological and neurodegenerative disorders. Fluorinated benzo[7]annulen-7-amines, capable for PET, were synthesized by combining fluorinated phenylalkylamines with differently substituted ketones. Relationships between substitution pattern and GluN2B affinity as well as selectivity towards σ1 and σ2 receptors were investigated. Two promising ligands (18a and 20c) were selected for further pharmacological evaluation. Besides a slight serotonin transporter (SERT), norepinephrine transporter (NET), and hERG affinity, they did not show interaction with other targets. Furthermore, the pKa value of a set fluorinated ligands, bearing the fluorine atom in different positions, was determined.

Abstract
A set of GluN2B NMDA receptor antagonists with conformationally restricted phenylethylamine substructure was prepared and pharmacologically evaluated. The phenylethylamine substructure was embedded in ring expanded 3-benzazocines 4 as well as ring-contracted tetralinamines 6 and indanamines 7. The ligands 4, 6 and 7 were synthesized by reductive alkylation of secondary amine 11, reductive amination of ketones 12 and 16 and nucleophilic substitution of nosylates 14 and 17. The moderate GluN2B affinity of 3-benzazocine 4d (Ki = 32 nM) translated into moderate cytoprotective activity (IC50 = 890 nM) and moderate ion channel inhibition (60% at 10 μM) in two-electrode voltage clamp experiments with GluN1a/GluN2B expressing oocytes. Although some of the tetralinamines 6 and indanamines 7 showed very high GluN2B affinity (e.g. Ki (7f) = 3.2 nM), they could not inhibit glutamate/glycine inducted cytotoxicity. The low cytoprotective activity of 3-benzazocines 4, tetralinamines 6 and indanamines 7 was attributed to the missing OH moiety at the benzene ring and/or in benzylic position. Docking studies showed that the novel GluN2B ligands adopt similar binding poses as Ro 25-6981 with the central H-bond interaction between the protonated amino moiety of the ligands and the carbamoyl moiety of Gln110. However, due to the lack of a second H-bond forming group, the ligands can adopt two binding poses within the ifenprodil binding pocket.

Abstract
In this study, the impact of one or two hydroxy moieties at the benzo[7]annulene scaffold on the GluN2B affinity and cytoprotective activity was analyzed. The key intermediate for the synthesis of OH-substituted benzo[7]annulenamines 11-13 and 17 was the epoxyketone 8. Reductive epoxide opening of 8 resulted with high regioselectivity in the 5-hydroxyketone 9 (Pd(OAc)2, HCO2H, phosphane ligand) or the 6-hydroxyketone 10 (H2, Pd/C), whereas hydrolysis in aqueous dioxane led to the dihydroxyketone 14. Reductive amination of these ketones with primary amines and NaBH(OAc)3 afforded the benzo[7]annulenamines 11-13 and 17. In receptor binding studies 5-OH derivatives 11 and 12 showed higher GluN2B affinity than 6-OH derivatives 13, which in turn were more active than 5,6-di-OH derivative 17a. The same order was found for the cytoprotective activity of the ligands. The tertiary amine 12a with one OH moiety in 5-position represents the most promising GluN2B negative allosteric modulator with a binding affinity of Ki = 49 nM and a cytoprotective activity of IC50 = 580 nM. In the binding pocket 12a shows a crucial H-bond between the benzylic OH moiety and the backbone carbonyl O-atom of Ser132 (GluN1b). It was concluded that a 5-OH moiety is essential for the inhibition of the NMDA receptor associated ion channel, whereas a OH moiety in 6-position is detrimental for binding and inhibition. An OH or CH2OH moiety at 2-position results in binding at the ifenprodil binding site, but very weak ion channel inhibition.

Abstract
A rhodium-catalyzed direct insertion of ethylene into a relatively unstrained carbon-carbon bond in 1-indanones is reported, which provides a two-carbon ring expansion strategy for preparing seven-membered cyclic ketones. As many 1-indanones are commercially available and ethylene is inexpensive, this strategy simplifies synthesis of benzocycloheptenones that are valuable synthetic intermediates for bioactive compounds but challenging to prepare otherwise. In addition, the reaction is byproduct-free, redox neutral, and tolerant of a wide range of functional groups, which may have implications on unconventional strategic bond disconnections for preparing complex cyclic molecules.

Abstract
N-Methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptors (NMDARs) are among the most important excitatory neurotransmitter receptors in the human brain. Autoantibodies to the human NMDAR cause the most frequent form of autoimmune encephalitis involving autoantibody-mediated receptor cross-linking and subsequent internalization of the antibody-receptor complex. This has been deemed to represent the predominant antibody effector mechanism depleting the NMDAR from the synaptic and extra-synaptic neuronal cell membrane. To assess in detail the molecular mechanisms of autoantibody-induced NMDAR endocytosis, vesicular trafficking, and exocytosis we transiently co-expressed rat GluN1-1a-EGFP and GluN2B-ECFP alone or together with scaffolding postsynaptic density protein 95 (PSD-95), wild-type (WT), or dominant-negative (DN) mutant Ras-related in brain (RAB) proteins (RAB5WT, RAB5DN, RAB11WT, RAB11DN) in HEK 293T cells. The cells were incubated with a pH-rhodamine-labeled human recombinant monoclonal GluN1 IgG1 autoantibody (GluN1-aAbpH−rhod) genetically engineered from clonally expanded intrathecal plasma cells from a patient with anti-NMDAR encephalitis, and the pH-rhodamine fluorescence was tracked over time. We show that due to the acidic luminal pH, internalization of the NMDAR-autoantibody complex into endosomes and lysosomes increases the pH-rhodamine fluorescence. The increase in fluorescence allows for mechanistic assessment of endocytosis, vesicular trafficking in these vesicular compartments, and exocytosis of the NMDAR-autoantibody complex under steady state conditions. Using this method, we demonstrate a role for PSD-95 in stabilization of NMDARs in the cell membrane in the presence of GluN1-aAbpH−rhod, while RAB proteins did not exert a significant effect on vertical trafficking of the internalized NMDAR autoantibody complex in this heterologous expression system. This novel assay allows to unravel molecular mechanisms of autoantibody-induced receptor internalization and to study novel small-scale specific molecular-based therapies for autoimmune encephalitis syndromes.

Abstract
The involvement of NMDA receptors containing the GluN2B subunit in neurodegenerative disorders including Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease renders this NMDA receptor subtype an interesting pharmacological target. The aim of this study was the bioisosteric replacement of benzene, methoxybenzene and aniline moieties of known potent GluN2B selective NMDA receptor antagonists by a thiophene ring. In a nine-step synthesis starting from commercially available propionic acid 9 the thiophene derivative 7a was obtained as a bioisostere of the potent GluN2B ligands cis-3 and trans-3. [7]Annuleno[b]thiophene 8a without a benzylic OH moiety was prepared in a six-step synthesis starting from carboxylic acid 18. 8a represents a bioisostere of potent GluN2B ligands 4 and 5. [7]Annulenothiophene 8a without a benzylic OH moiety reveals approx. 8-fold higher GluN2B affinity (K i = 26 nM) than the analogous thiophene derivative 7a with a benzylic OH moiety (K i = 204 nM). Both thiophene bioisosteres show a slight preference for GluN2B receptors over both σ receptors. The data indicate that the bioisosteric replacement of benzene or substituted benzene rings by a thiophene ring is well tolerated by the NMDA receptor. Furthermore, the benzylic OH moiety seems not to be essential for high GluN2B affinity.
