Abstract
The kainic acid receptors belong to the class of ionotropic glutamate receptors and comprise five subunits named GluK1-5. Radioligands are essential tools for use in binding assays aimed at ligand-receptor structure-activity-relationship studies. Previous work has led to the synthesis of GluK1 radioligands [3H]-SYM2081, [3H]-UBP310 and [3H]-ATPA, however all strategies were work-intensive and thus not attractive. Herein, we report the synthesis of [3H]-NF608 and subsequent pharmacological evaluation at homomeric recombinant rat GluK1 receptors. Binding affinities of a series of standard GluK1 ligands were shown to be in line with previously reported affinities obtained by use of already reported radioligands.
