Biological Activity of U 93631

DescriptionGABAA receptor antagonist that binds the picrotoxin site and stabilizes the inactive form of the channel via allosteric interaction. Accelerates the decay of GABA-induced Cl- currents with little effect on peak amplitude. Also inhibits 5-HT3A receptors via a similar mechanism.

References on U 93631

U-93631 causes rapid decay of gamma-aminobutyric acid-induced chloride currents in recombinant rat gamma-aminobutyric acid type A receptors.[Pubmed:8232235]

Mol Pharmacol. 1993 Oct;44(4):860-5.

We discovered the ability of U-93631 (4-dimethyl-3-t-butylcarboxyl-4,5- dihydro[1,5-a]imidazoquinoxaline) to accelerate decay of gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA)-induced currents, and we explored its mechanism in human embryonic kidney cells (HEK-293) stably expressing the alpha 1 beta 2 gamma 2 subtype of GABAA receptors. Inward currents (Cl- efflux) induced by 5 microM GABA at the holding potential of -60 mV (under a symmetrical Cl- gradient) decayed with an exponential time course with a mean time constant (tau) of 222 +/- 25 sec, as examined with the whole-cell configuration of the patch-clamp technique. The monoexponential decay was greatly accelerated in the presence of U-93631 at 5 microM, with the mean tau value being 5.2 +/- 0.5 sec. The tau values were dependent on the concentration of U-93631, with an estimated Kd of approximately 2 microM. Outward currents at the holding potential of +60 mV decayed with a similar tau value in the presence of the drug, suggesting the voltage independence of the drug action. The initial amplitude of the GABA (5 microM)-induced Cl- current was not affected by preincubation with U-93631 (5 microM) or GABA (200 nM) alone but was reduced by preincubation with the combination of the two. In the presence of U-93631 at 5 microM, the peak amplitude decreased as a function of GABA concentration, with the half-maximal inhibitory concentration being approximately 100 nm, which is close to the Kd for the high affinity GABA site (85 nM). It appears that the drug interacts with GABA-bound receptors (at least monoliganded) and accelerates receptor desensitization, rather than acting as an open channel blocker. The binding site for U-93631 on GABAA receptors seems not to overlap with GABA, barbiturate, or benzodiazepine sites, because the drug effect persisted in the presence of excess ligands for those sites. With cloned GABAA receptors composed of only alpha 1 beta 2, beta 2 gamma 2, or alpha 1 gamma 2 subunits, U-93631 also accelerated the decay rate. This lack of subtype selectivity raises the possibility that the compound interacts with a region common among the three subunits, probably a novel modulatory site, which can possibly be exploited as a novel therapeutic target.

The GABA(A) receptor antagonist picrotoxin inhibits 5-hydroxytryptamine type 3A receptors.[Pubmed:12646280]

Neuropharmacology. 2003 Mar;44(4):431-8.

For a number of years it has been known that the CNS convulsant picrotoxin inhibits the GABA(A) receptor, an anion-selective member of the ligand-gated ion channel (LGIC) superfamily. PTX also inhibits other anion-selective LGIC members, such as GABA(C), glycine and glutamate-gated Cl(-) channels. In the present report, we tested the ability of picrotoxin to inhibit cation-selective 5-HT(3A) receptors. Murine 5-HT(3A) receptors were expressed in HEK293 cells, and functionally evaluated using whole-cell patch clamp recording. Picrotoxin inhibited 5-HT-gated currents in a concentration-dependent manner, with an IC(50) of approximately 30 microM. Moreover, the blockade by PTX was non-competitive and use-facilitated. Pentylenetetrazole and U-93631, ligands that act at a domain similar to that of picrotoxin in GABA(A) receptors, also inhibited the 5-HT(3A) receptor. For each ligand tested, its potency was 5-10 fold lower than typically observed in GABA(A) receptors. Our results demonstrate that, in addition to being a relatively non-selective inhibitor of anionic LGICs, picrotoxin also inhibits the cation-selective 5-HT(3A) receptor. Moreover, the fact that both PTZ and U-93631 similarly inhibit the 5-HT(3A) receptor is consistent with the suggestion that the site of picrotoxin action in this receptor may be comparable to that in anion-selective LGICs.

[4-Dimethyl-3-t-butylcarboxyl-4,5-dihydro (1,5-a) quinoxaline] is a novel ligand to the picrotoxin site on GABAA receptors, and decreases single-channel open probability.[Pubmed:7531762]

J Pharmacol Exp Ther. 1995 Feb;272(2):597-603.

U-93631,[4-dimethyl-3-t-butylcarboxyl-4,5-dihydro (1,5-a) quinoxaline], represents a GABAA receptor ligand of novel chemical structure, and has been shown to induce a rapid, time-dependent decay of GABA-induced whole-cell Cl- currents in recombinant GABAA receptors (Dillon et al., 1993). In this study, we found that the drug competitively inhibited [35S]t-butylbicyclophosphorothionate binding to the picrotoxin site on a cloned GABAA receptor, alpha 1 beta 2 gamma 2, and preempted the action of picrotoxin and [35S]t-butylbicyclophosphorothionate on GABA-induced Cl- currents. We further examined the effect of U-93631 on GABA-induced single channel openings in outside-out patches. U-93631 (5 microM) showed no effect on single channel conductance, the duration of channel open states or the short closed state, but increased the duration of the long closed state and its relative contribution to total closed time. In addition, closings of very long duration (> 500 msec), albeit rare, occurred more frequently in the presence of U-93631. Thus, the probability of single channel openings decreased from 0.12 +/- 0.02 to 0.04 +/- 0.01 in the presence of U-93631 (5 microM). These properties of U-93631 are analogous to those of picrotoxin and [35S]t-butylbicyclophosphorothionate reported in earlier studies with native neurons. We conclude that U-93631 at least shares overlapping binding domains with picrotoxin and [35S]t-butylbicyclophosphorothionate, and the ability to stabilize the GABAA receptor/Cl- channel complex in an inactivated state(s).(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
