ABSTRACT
Although the selective excitatory amino acid transporter subtypeâ
1 (EAAT1) inhibitor UCPH-101 has become a standard pharmacological tool compound for inâ
vitro and exâ
vivo studies in the EAAT research field, its inability to penetrate the blood-brain barrier makes it unsuitable for inâ
vivo studies. In the present study, per os (p.o.) administration (40â
mg kg(-1) ) of the closely related analogue UCPH-102 in rats yielded respective plasma and brain concentrations of 10.5 and 6.67â
µm after 1â
h. Three analogue series were designed and synthesized to improve the bioavailability profile of UCPH-102, but none displayed substantially improved properties in this respect. Inâ
vitro profiling of UCPH-102 (10â
µm) at 51 central nervous system targets in radioligand binding assays strongly suggests that the compound is completely selective for EAAT1. Finally, in a rodent locomotor model, p.o. administration of UCPH-102 (20â
mg kg(-1) ) did not induce acute effects or any visible changes in behavior.
