Abstract

A conformationally constrained, indole-based kainate analogue was designed based on Gouaux's X-ray structure of kainic acid bound to an iGluR2 (S1S2) construct, a structural model for AMPA/kainate ionotropic glutamate receptors. In contrast to the parent kainic acid, a potent agonist, this compound, along with three structurally related analogues derived from synthetic intermediates, exhibited antagonist behavior towards KAR expressed in ...
