(2R,4R)-APDC Usage And Synthesis

Uses

(2R,4R)-APDC is a potent and selective group II metabotropic glutamate receptor agonist (1,2). It has been shown that (2R,4R)-APDC decrease cell proliferation in the dentate gyrus of adult rats (1).

Definition

ChEBI: (2R,4R)-4-aminopyrrolidine-2,4-dicarboxylic acid is a pyrrolidinedicarboxylic acid.

Biological Activity

A highly selective and relatively potent group II metabotropic glutamate receptor agonist. EC 50 values are 0.4, 0.4, > 100, > 100, > 300 and > 300 μ M for human mGlu 2 , mGlu 3 , mGlu 1 , mGlu 5 , mGlu 4 and mGlu 7 receptors respectively. Centrally active following systemic administration in vivo . Also available as part of the Group II mGlu Receptor Tocriset™ .

in vitro

2r,4r-apdc blocked forskolin-stimulated camp with none of the other activities of ls,3r-acpd. forskolin-stimulated camp formation in human mglur2 expressing cells with about three-fold greater potency than ls,3r-acpd were also inhibited by 2r,4r-apdc, which, unlike ls,3r-acpd, exhibited no appreciable activation of phosphoinostide hydrolysis in human mglur. thus, 2r,4r-apdc should be a useful pharmacological tool to explore the functions of mglurs coupled to inhibition of adenylate cyclase [1]. the effects of four isomers of apdc were investigated at glutamate receptors in vitro. (2r,4r)-apdc, an aza analog of the nonselective mglur agonist (1s,3r)-acpd possessed relatively high affinity for metabotropic glutamate receptors (mglurs) with no effects on radioligand binding to nmda, ampa, or kainate receptors up to 100 ím. none of the other apdc isomers exhibited significant mglur binding affinity, indicating that this interaction is highly stereospecific [2].

in vivo

both (1s,3r)-acpd and (2r,4r)-apdc were effectively attenuating forskolin-stimulated camp formation in the adult rat cerebral cortex; however, while (1s,3r)-acpd was also effectively stimulating basal tritiated inositol monophosphate production of the neonatal rat cerebral cortex, (2r,4r)-apdc was not effectively stimulating phosphoinositide hydrolysis in this tissue preparation. an augmentation of ampa-induced excitation was produced by microelectrophoretic application of either (1s,3r)-acpd or (2r,4r)-apdc to intact rat spinal neurons [2].
