The action of two cyclobutane derivatives of L-glutamic acid on the high affinity uptake of L-glutamic acid was investigated using a preparation of synaptosomes from rat cerebral cortex. cis-1-Aminocyclobutane-1,3-dicarboxylic acid (also known as trans-2,4-methanoglutamic acid) potently inhibited L-glutamic acid uptake (IC50 30 microM), whereas trans-1-aminocyclobutane-1,3-dicarboxylic acid (also known as cis-2,4-methanoglutamic acid), a potent N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) agonist, was inactive. Analysis of the kinetics of L-glutamic acid uptake in the presence and absence of cis-1-aminocyclobutane-1,3-dicarboxylic acid (CACB) suggests that it may act as a competitive inhibitor (Ki 8 microM). CACB may be substrate for the L-glutamic acid high-affinity uptake carrier since preincubation of CACB with the synaptosomal preparation increased its potency in inhibiting L-glutamic acid uptake. The conformationally restricted structure of CACB may be indicative of the conformations of L-glutamic acid that interact with the high affinity uptake carrier.

D016194 Receptors, N-Methyl-D-Aspartate A class of ionotropic glutamate receptors characterized by affinity for N-methyl-D-aspartate. NMDA receptors have an allosteric binding site for glycine which must be occupied for the channel to open efficiently and a site within the channel itself to which magnesium ions bind in a voltage-dependent manner. The positive voltage dependence of channel conductance and the high permeability of the conducting channel to calcium ions (as well as to monovalent cations) are important in excitotoxicity and neuronal plasticity.
