Application

ALX 5407 hydrochloride has been used as a glycine transporter (GlyT1) inhibitor to test its effect on inhibitory postsynaptic current and N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor (NMDA)-mediated excitatory postsynaptic currents (EPSCs). It has also been used as a GlyT1 inhibitor to treat developmentally diminished NMDA receptor (Grin1D481N) mice to test its effect on the glycine site function.

Biochem/physiol Actions

ALX-5407 hydrochloride (NFPS hydrochloride) is a selective irreversible inhibitor of the glycine transporter GlyT1 with IC50 values of 3 nM for GlyT1 compared to 100 μM for GlyT2. ALX-5407 hydrochloride showed no activity at the inhibitory glycine receptor or glycine site of the NMDA receptor (IC50 > 100 mM).

Schizophrenic patients demonstrate prominent negative and cognitive symptoms that are poorly responsive to antipsychotic treatment. Abnormal glutamatergic neurotransmission may contribute to these pathophysiological dimensions of schizophrenia. We examined the involvement of the glycine coagonist site on the N-methyl-D: -aspartate receptor

The arachidonyl-amino acid N-arachidonyl-glycine (NAGly) is an endogenous lipid, generated within the spinal cord and producing spinally mediated analgesia via non-cannabinoid mechanisms. In this study we examined the actions of NAGly on neurons within the superficial dorsal horn, a key
