Abstract
N-Methyl-D-aspartic acid (NMDA) receptor is a promising target for treatment of neurodegenerative diseases and other brain disorders as well as for designing proneurogenic compounds able to stimulate neurogenesis in adult brain. We analyzed the structure of the binding site of negative allosteric modulators in the amino-terminal domain of the NMDA receptor and identified possible modes of their binding as well as performed molecular design of new modulators that significantly differ from the known ones in structure and binding mode. In addition, we formed a focused library of chemical compounds with potential neuroprotective and proneurogenic properties, desirable set of pharmacokinetic properties, and low toxicity, which can be the basis for development of new-generation drugs.
