7-CHLORO-4-HYDROXYQUINOLINE-2-CARBOXYLIC ACID HCL

The Uses of 7-CHLORO-4-HYDROXYQUINOLINE-2-CARBOXYLIC ACID HCL

NMDA receptor antagonist at the glycine site

What are the applications of Application

7-Chlorokynurenic acid is an NMDA receptor antagonist and inhibitor of EAAT

Definition

ChEBI: A quinolinemonocarboxylic acid that is quinaldic acid which is substituted by a hydroxy group at position 4 and by a chlorine at position 7. It is a potent NMDA glutamate receptor antagonist which antagonizes the strychnine-insensitive glycine site of the MDA receptor. It also prevents neurodegeneration produced by quinolinic acid.

Biological Functions

Glycine B agonist site antagonist of N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor (IC50=0.56 μM). 7-Chlorokynurenic acid is also a potent inhibitor of glutamate reuptake into synaptic vesicles with a Ki of 0.59 μM. 7-Chlorokynurenic acid has potent analgesic effects in neurotransmission.

Biological Activity

NMDA receptor antagonist acting at the glycine site. Potent competitive inhibitor of L-glutamate transport into synaptic vesicles. Also available as part of the NMDA Receptor - Glycine Site Tocriset™ .

in vivo

Male Sprague-Dawley rats pretreated with 7-Chlorokynurenic acid (10 nM) shows a significant retardation of development of both the electroencephalographic and motor (17.7±2.9 daily stimulations) components of the seizure response.
