M. %J Journal of the Brazilian Chemical Society %D 2001 %I Sociedade Brasileira de Qu¨ªmica, SBQ %X As part of a research program aiming at the design, synthesis and pharmacological evaluation of a novel lead-candidates of neuroactive compounds, we describe herein the synthesis and the central profile of a new nebracetam analog having a 2-aza-bicyclo[3.3.0]octane system. The new derivative, designed on the basis of the conformational restriction concept, was synthesized in good yields exploring a diastereoselective reductive-amination and cyclization one-pot sequence. The pharmacological profile of this new compound, investigated by using path-clamp techniques on neurons of the CNS, indicated no effects on these cells. %K 2-azabicyclo[3.3.0]octane derivatives %K diastereoselective reductive-amination/cyclization one-pot process %K nebracetam analog %U http://www.scielo.br/scielo.php?script=sci_arttext&pid=S0103-50532001000300013
