Synthesis and evaluation of novel, selective, functionalized γ-butyrolactones as sigma-2 ligands
The sigma-2 (σ 2 ) receptor was discovered nearly 40 years ago and was recently identified as the Transmembrane Protein 97 (TMEM97, also known as MAC30 (Meningioma-associated protein)). Aberrant σ 2 activity has been linked to diseases and conditions such as schizophrenia, Alzheimer’s disease, neuro...

activity has been linked to diseases and conditions such as schizophrenia, Alzheimer’s disease, neuropathic pain, traumatic brain injury, and cancer. The utility of σ
