NR1 and NR2 Subunit Contributions to N-Methyl-D-aspartate Receptor Channel Blocker Pharmacology1

Daniel T. Monaghan and Heidi Larsen

Department of Pharmacology and Division of Neurology, Department of Internal Medicine, University of Nebraska Medical Center, Omaha, Nebraska

The potencies of various N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor channel blockers were determined at recombinant NMDA receptors containing differing combinations of NR1 and NR2 subunits expressed in Xenopus laevis oocytes. When the NR1 subunit was varied (NR1e/NR2A or NR1b/NR2A), none of the 9 channel blockers tested displayed a statistically different affinity. In contrast, altering NR2 composition changed the affinities of several channel blockers. Three of 10 compounds displayed significantly higher affinities for NR1b/NR2C receptors than NR1b/NR2A receptors, and three of five compounds had higher affinity at NR1b/NR2C than NR1b/NR2B receptors. Both MK-801 and N-[1-(2-thienyl)cyclohyxyl]piperidine displayed identical affinities at all receptor subunit combinations tested. However, these two compounds displayed significantly slower rates of blockade and unblockade at NR1b/NR2C than at NR1b/NR2A receptors, perhaps reflecting the shorter mean open times of NR1/NR2C receptors. NR1b/NR2B and NR1b/NR2A were distinguished by one of five compounds tested. Taken together, these results indicate that NR2 subunits impart differing pharmacological profiles to NMDA receptors; thus, it may be possible to develop NMDA receptor channel blocker antagonists of greater subtype selectivity.
