GAT100 is a potent and covalent negative allosteric modulator (NAM). GAT-100 behaved as a robust positive allosteric modulator of binding of orthosteric agonist CP55,940. This novel covalent probe can serve as a useful tool for characterizing CB1R allosteric ligand-binding motifs.
SKF89976A is a potent GABA uptake inhibitor, which is selective for GAT-1 (IC50 values are 0.13, 550, 944 and 7210 μM for hGAT-1, rGAT-2, hGAT-3 and hBGT-1 respectively). SKF89976A inhibits transport current competitively (Ki = 7 μM) and transmitter-gated current non-competitively (Ki = 0.03 nM). It is able to pass the blood-brain barrier after systemic administration and is active in vivo.
