Bioactivity Comments |
S18986 significantly potentiates AMPA-induced inward currents in a concentration-dependent manner, with an EC50 of 25μM in two-electrode voltage-clamp experiments using Xenopus laevis oocytes injected with rat cortex poly(A+) mRNA [1]. Allostery is indicated by the finding that potentiation is not observed when S18986 is applied in the absence of agonist. S18986 does not interact with the kainate or NMDA glutamate receptors, or with a range of receptors, ion channels or enzymes. |
