title: Stereoselective enhancement by (R)-HA-966 of the binding of [3H]CPP to the NMDA receptor complex.
abstract: The enantiomers of the strychnine-insensitive glycine antagonist, HA-966 (1-hydroxy-3-amino-pyrrolidone-2), stereoselectively enhance binding of the N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) competitive antagonist, [3H]CPP (3-(2-carboxypiperazin-4-yl)propyl-1-phosphonic acid) to rat brain synaptosomal membranes. The enhancement by the more potent (R)-HA-966 is competitively inhibited by the glycine antagonist 7-chlorokynurenic acid and noncompetitively by the polyamine spermine. Thus, (R)-HA-966, apparently at the glycine site, enhances the binding of antagonist to the NMDA receptor, possibly through a mechanism partially in common with that of spermine.
