Abstrakt: Two hybrid analogues of the kainic acid receptor agonists, 2-amino-3-(5-tert-butyl-3-hydroxy-4-isoxazolyl)propionic acid (ATPA) and (2S,4R)-4-methylglutamic acid ((2S,4R)-4-Me-Glu), were designed, synthesized, and characterized in radioligand binding assays using cloned ionotropic and metabotropic glutamic acid receptors. The (S)-enantiomers of E-4-(2,2-dimethylpropylidene)glutamic acid ((S)-1) and E-4-(3,3-dimethylbutylidene)glutamic acid ((S)-2) were shown to be selective and high affinity GluR5 ligands, with Kivalues of 0.024 and 0.39μM, respectively, compared to Kivalues at GluR2 of 3.0 and 2.0μM, respectively. Their affinities in the [3H]AMPA binding assay on native cortical receptors were shown to correlate with their GluR2 affinity rather than their GluR5 affinity. No affinity for GluR6 was detected (IC50>100μM).
