Identification of a series of 1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinolinyl-benzamides with potential anticonvulsant activity

Bioorg Med Chem Lett. 1998 Oct 20;8(20):2903-6. doi: 10.1016/s0960-894x(98)00523-x.

Abstract

A series of N-(tetrahydroisoquinolinyl)-2-methoxybenzamides was identified by high-throughput screening at the novel SB-204269 binding site. SAR studies have provided compounds 4 and 14 with high affinity and good anticonvulsant activity in animal models.
