Design and synthesis of a novel water-soluble NMDA receptor antagonist with a 1,4,7,10-tetraazacyclododecane group.
???displayArticle.abstract???
Polyamines, especially spermine, inhibit N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptors as open channel blockers. Two types of water-soluble NMDA receptor antagonist, ACCn (1) and TGCn (2), with a 1,4,7,10-tetraazacyclododecane cyclic polyamine group, were synthesized and the effects of both compounds on NMDA receptors were studied using voltage-clamp recordings of recombinant NMDA receptors expressed in Xenopus oocytes. These compounds inhibited macroscopic currents in both NR1/NR2A and NR1/NR2B receptor subtypes in oocytes voltage-clamped at -70 mV. Inhibition by the compounds of NR1/NR2A receptors were more prominent than that of NR1/NR2B receptors. The inhibitory effects of ACCn (1) on both NMDA receptors were more potent than those of TGCn (2).
