Extrasynaptic GABAA receptors: form, pharmacology, and function.
GABA is the principal inhibitory neurotransmitter in the CNS and acts via GABA(A) and GABA(B) receptors. Recently, a novel form of GABA(A) receptor-mediated inhibition, termed "tonic" inhibition, has been described. Whereas synaptic GABA(A) receptors underlie classical "phasic" GABA(A) receptor-mediated inhibition (inhibitory postsynaptic currents), tonic GABA(A) receptor-mediated inhibition re...
متن کامل3D-QSAR model of flavonoids binding at benzodiazepine site in GABAA receptors.
With flavone as a structural template, three-dimensional quantitative structure-activity relationship (3D-QSAR) studies and ab initio calculations were performed on a series of flavonoids. A reasonable pharmacophore model was built through CoMFA, CoMSIA, and HQSAR analyses and electrostatic potential calculations. A plausible binding mode for flavonoids with GABA(A) receptors was rationalized. ...
متن کاملGABAA/benzodiazepine receptors in acutely isolated hippocampal astrocytes.
The properties of GABA receptor-mediated responses were examined in noncultured astrocytes, acutely isolated from the mature rat hippocampus. Whole-cell patch clamping revealed a GABA-activated Cl- conductance that was mimicked by the GABAA receptor agonist muscimol and depressed by the GABAA antagonists bicuculline and picrotoxin. The GABAA-activated currents were potentiated by the barbiturat...
متن کامل3-Arylisothiazoloquinols as potent ligands for the benzodiazepine site of GABAA receptors
3-Arylisothiazolo[5,4-b]quinolin-4(9H)-ones and 3-arylisoxazolo[5,4-b]quinolin-4(9H)-ones were synthesized and assayed for affinity for the benzodiazepine binding site of the GABAA receptors. While the 3-arylisothiazoloquinolin-4-ones were found to be potent ligands, with affinities (expressed as the affinity Ki value) down to 1 nM, the 3-arylisoxazoloquinolin-4ones are less potent. This is sug...
متن کاملLigands of the GABAA Receptor Benzodiazepine Binding Site
Benzodiazepine (BZ) binding site ligands are important central nervous system (CNS) drugs. Their numbers and our knowledge of how they interact with the BZ-binding site of GABAA receptors are both rapidly expanding. The GABAA receptor is a member of the ligand-gated ion channel superfamily. In general, it consists of an assembly of transmembrane pentamers of different subunit compositions (1). ...
