Binding sites for bilobalide, diltiazem, ginkgolide, and picrotoxinin at the 5-HT3 receptor.
Bilobalide (BB), ginkgolide B (GB), diltiazem (DTZ), and picrotoxinin (PXN) are 5-hydroxytryptamine type 3 (5-HT(3)) receptor antagonists in which the principal sites of action are in the channel. To probe their exact binding locations, 5-HT(3) receptors with substitutions in their pore lining residues were constructed (N-4'Q, E-1'D, S2'A, T6'S, L7'T, L9'V, S12'A, I16'V, D20'E), expressed in Xe...
متن کاملGinkgolide B and bilobalide block the pore of the 5-HT3 receptor at a location that overlaps the picrotoxin binding site
Extracts from the Ginkgo biloba tree are widely used as herbal medicines, and include bilobalide (BB) and ginkgolides A and B (GA and GB). Here we examine their effects on human 5-HT(3)A and 5-HT(3)AB receptors, and compare these to the effects of the structurally related compounds picrotin (PTN) and picrotoxinin (PXN), the two components of picrotoxin (PTX), a known channel blocker of 5-HT(3),...
متن کاملVarenicline Interactions at the 5-HT3 Receptor Ligand Binding Site are Revealed by 5-HTBP
Cys-loop receptors are the site of action of many therapeutic drugs. One of these is the smoking cessation agent varenicline, which has its major therapeutic effects at nicotinic acetylcholine (nACh) receptors but also acts at 5-HT3 receptors. Here, we report the X-ray crystal structure of the 5-HT binding protein (5-HTBP) in complex with varenicline, and test the predicted interactions by prob...
متن کاملHigh-affinity fluorescent ligands for the 5-HT3 receptor
The synthesis, photophysical and biological characterization of a small library of fluorescent 5-HT(3) receptor ligands is described. Several of these novel granisetron conjugates have high quantum yields and show high affinity for the human 5-HT(3)AR.
متن کاملMolecular determinants of ginkgolide binding in the glycine receptor pore.
Ginkgolides are potent blockers of the glycine receptor Cl- channel (GlyR) pore. We sought to identify their binding sites by comparing the effects of ginkgolides A, B and C and bilobalide on alpha1, alpha2, alpha1beta and alpha2beta GlyRs. Bilobalide sensitivity was drastically reduced by incorporation of the beta subunit. In contrast, the sensitivities to ginkgolides B and C were enhanced by ...
