NEUROPHARMACOLOGY

In Vitro Characterization of 5-Carboxyl-2,4-di-benzamidobenzoic Acid (NS3763), a Noncompetitive Antagonist of GLU_K5 Receptors

NeuroSearch A/S, Ballerup, Denmark

Accumulating preclinical data suggest that compounds that block the excitatory effect of glutamate on the kainate subtype of glutamate receptors may have utility for the treatment of pain, migraine, and epilepsy. In the present study, the in vitro pharmacological properties of the novel glutamate antagonist 5-carboxyl-2,4-di-benzamido-benzoic acid (NS3763) are described. In functional assays in human embryonic kidney (HEK)293 cells expressing homomeric GLU_K5 or GLU_K6 receptors, NS3763 is shown to display selectivity for inhibition of domoate-induced increase in intracellular calcium mediated through the GLU_K5 subtype (IC₅₀ = 1.6 µM) of kainate receptors compared with the GLU_K6 subtype (IC₅₀ > 30 µM). NS3763 inhibits the GLU_K5-mediated response in a noncompetitive manner and does not inhibit [³H]-amino-3-hydroxy-5-tertbutylisoxazole-4-propionic acid binding to GLU_K5 receptors. Furthermore, NS3763 selectively inhibits L-glutamate- and domoate-evoked currents through GLU_K5 receptors in HEK293 cells and does not significantly inhibit -amino-3-hydroxy-5-methylisoxazole-4-propionic acid- or N-methyl-D-aspartate-induced currents in cultured mouse cortical neurons at 30 µM. This is the first report on a selective and noncompetitive GLU_K5 antagonist.
