Function

GRIA2_RAT Receptor for glutamate that functions as ligand-gated ion channel in the central nervous system and plays an important role in excitatory synaptic transmission. L-glutamate acts as an excitatory neurotransmitter at many synapses in the central nervous system. Binding of the excitatory neurotransmitter L-glutamate induces a conformation change, leading to the opening of the cation channel, and thereby converts the chemical signal to an electrical impulse. The receptor then desensitizes rapidly and enters a transient inactive state, characterized by the presence of bound agonist. In the presence of CACNG4 or CACNG7 or CACNG8, shows resensitization which is characterized by a delayed accumulation of current flux upon continued application of glutamate.[1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8] [9] [10] [11] [12] [13] [14]

Publication Abstract from PubMed

The present study describes the identification of highly potent dimeric 1,2,4-benzothiadiazine 1,1-dioxide (BTD)-type positive allosteric modulators of the AMPA receptors (AMPApams) obtained by linking two monomeric BTD scaffolds through their respective 6-positions. Using previous X-ray data from monomeric BTDs cocrystallized with the GluA2 ligand-binding domain (LBD), a molecular modeling approach was performed to predict the preferred dimeric combinations. Two 6,6-ethylene-linked dimeric BTD compounds (16 and 22) were prepared and evaluated as AMPApams on HEK293 cells expressing GluA2(o)( Q) (calcium flux experiment). These compounds were found to be about 10,000 times more potent than their respective monomers, the most active dimeric compound being the bis-4-cyclopropyl-substituted compound 22 [6,6'-(ethane-1,2-diyl)bis(4-cyclopropyl-3,4-dihydro-2 H-1,2,4-benzothiadiazine 1,1-dioxide], with an EC(50) value of 1.4 nM. As a proof of concept, the bis-4-methyl-substituted dimeric compound 16 (EC(50) = 13 nM) was successfully cocrystallized with the GluA2(o)-LBD and was found to occupy the two BTD binding sites at the LBD dimer interface.
