Abstract

The discovery and optimization of a novel class of selective submicromolar KCC2 blockers is described. Details of synthesis and SAR are given together with ADME properties of selected compounds. A methylsulfone residue on the R(1) phenyl group improved the overall general profile of these prolinate derivatives.
