        | substituent coordinating with Zn must correlate with L amino acid stereochemistry the N ring must contain a carboxylate, resulting in an ionic bond
 large rings are needed to fill the hydrophobic pocket
 coordination with the Zn occurs via a sulfhydryl, carboxylate, or a phosphinic group
 esterification produces prodrugs, thus increasing bioavailibility

        | a substituted phenyl ring at C4 is optimal for activity. ortho or meta substituents (regardless of electron donating or accepting distribution) are preferred; lack of substitution or para- are detrimental to activity
 perpendicular orientation of phenyl and dihydropyridine rings
 esterification at C3 and C5 are essential for activity.  electron withdrawing groups decrease agonistic activity.  if non identical substituents on C3 and C5, stereoselectivity is observed
 R1 substituent can be bigger than methyl, tolerance on the receptor site
