Abstract
FCE28833 inhibits kynurenine 3-hydroxylase thereby elevating levels of kynurenic acid, an endogenous excitatory amino acid receptor antagonist. It may have therapeutic value in treating diseases linked to hyperfunction of excitatory amino acid receptors. A short and highly enantioselective synthesis of FCE28833 features an asymmetric intermolecular Stetter reaction catalyzed by the N-heterocyclic carbene E.
