摘要
AMPA (EC50=1.0 x 10(-6)M) and NMDA (EC50=1.3 x 10(-4)M) trigger Ca-45(2+) influx in 13-day chick embryonic retinal explants. This agonist-driven cationic flux is specifically inhibited by typical competitive antagonists, such as 6,7-dinitroquinoxaline-2,3-dione (DNQX) and 2-amino-7-phosphonoheptanoate (AP7), respectively. Guanine nucleotides, with different degrees of phosphorylation, namely 5'-GMP, guanosine 5'-O-(2-thiodiphosphate) (GDP beta S), guanosine 5'-O-(3-thiotriphosphate) (GTP gamma S) and 5'-guanylyl-imidodiphosphate (GppNHp), are also efficient blockers of Ca-45(2+) influx. These results confirm the antagonistic behavior of guanine nucleotides towards ionotropic glutamate receptors and suggest a convenient experimental approach for screening of novel agonists and antagonists.
