Description: EAAT2 (GLT-1)-selective non-transportable inhibitor of L-glutamate and L-aspartate uptake
Chemical Name: (2S,3S,4R)-2-Carboxy-4-isopropyl-3-pyrrolidineacetic acid
Biological Activity
Dihydrokainic acid is a selective EAAT2(GLT1) non-transportable inhibitor of L-glutamate and L-aspartate uptake (Ki = 23 μM). Dihydrokainic acid is 130-fold selective over EAAT1 and EAAT3 (Ki > 3 mM). In [3H]-d-Asp uptake assays in HEK293 cells expressing human EAAT2, EAAT1 and EAAT3, Ki values are 89 μM, > 3 mM and > 3 mM, respectively. Respective Km values in a FLIPR Membrane Potential (FMP) assay, are 31 μM, > 3 mM and > 3 mMTechnical Data
