GABAand Glutamate Receptor Ligands and their Therapeutic Potential inCNSDisorders

Abstract: The complex functions of the mammalian central nervous system (CNS) are primarily determined by ( S )‐glutamic acid (Glu) and 4‐aminobutyric acid (GABA), which hyperpolarizes neurons via multiple receptor subtypes. Glu can act as a neurotoxin and cause injury to neurons in neurological disorders, including reversal of Glu transporters. This article discusses functionality of GABA and glutamate receptor ligands, including their therapeutic potentials in CNS disorders.

“…Ser-186 in mGluR1, which corresponds to Ala-170 in hT1R1, is known to interact with the distal carboxylic acid moiety of l -Glu via a water molecule ( 13 , 30 ). Additionally, Gly-319 in mGluR1, which corresponds to Ala-302 in hT1R1, is also positioned near the carboxylate side chain of l -Glu ( 30 , 31 ). In mT1R1, mutating Ala to an acidic residue at this position is certainly expected to affect acidic amino acid binding due to the electrostatic repulsion between the negative charges of the carboxylic acid moieties.…”
