JAMI1001A binds in the solvent accessible allosteric pocket that lies at the interface between AMPA receptor ligand-binding core dimers. JAMI1001A efficaciously blocks channel desensitization and slows deactivation of the flip and flop isoforms of AMPA receptor GluA2[1]. A simple kinetic model suggests that JAMI1001A independently modulates both the protein rearrangements necessary for channel desensitization and its recovery from the desensitized state, and the protein rearrangements necessary for channel deactivation (closed-cleft stability or channel gating)[1].
