ABSTRACT
This study examined the binding of (S)-[3H]AMPA, the radiolabelled active isomer of AMPA, to rat brain synaptic membranes. Under non-chaotropic conditions specific binding of 10 nM (S)-[3H]AMPA represented 33 +/- 2% of the total; this increased to 74 +/- 1% in the presence of 100 mM KSCN. (S)-[3H]AMPA binding was inhibited by non-NMDA receptor agonists and the antagonists NBQX and CNQX, with the following rank order of potency NBQX > (S)-AMPA > or = quisqualate > CNQX > L-glutamate > domoate > or = kainate > (R)-AMPA. NMDA, and the metabotropic glutamate receptor agonist (1S,3R)-ACPD, up to 100 microM, did not inhibit (S)-[3H]AMPA binding. A number of willardiine analogues all effectively inhibited (S)-[3H]AMPA binding with the rank order of potency (S)-5-fluorowillardiine > (S)-5-nitrowillardiine > (S)-5-trifluoromethylwillardiine > (S)-5-bromowillardiine approximately (S)-5-chlorowillardiine > (S)-5-cyanowillardiine > (S)-willardiine > (S)-5-iodowillardiine > (S)-6-methylwillardiine > (S)-5-methylwillardiine. This rank order closely reflects data from equilibrium measurements made, under voltage clamp, on cultured hippocampal neurons. In contrast the respective (R)-enantiomers and the racemate mixtures of (R,S)-3, 5 and 6-isowillardiine were relatively inactive. Similar IC50 values and thus rank orders of potency for the willardiines were observed in the presence of 100 mM KSCN.
