Comment: This is a synthetic macrocyclic peptide that was designed to disrupt the protein-protein interaction between postsynaptic density protein-95 (PSD-95; gene symbol DLG4) and neuronal nitric oxide synthase (nNOS) [1], as a mechanism to disrupt the excitotoxic signaling and cell death that's induced (in acute ischaemia) by formation of the tri-protein complex of glutamate ionotropic receptor NMDA type subunit 2B (GRIN2B; GluN2B or NR2B), PSD-95 and nNOS. Structurally it mimics the β-hairpin motif of nNOS that forms the interaction with the PDZ2 domain of PSD-95.
