Valerenic acid potentiates and inhibits GABA A receptors: Molecular mechanism and subunit specificity

TL;DR: VA was identified as a subunit specific allosteric modulator of GABA(A) receptors that is likely to interact with the loreclezole binding pocket and shifted the GABA concentration-effect curve towards lower GABA concentrations and elicited substantial currents through GABA( A) channels at > or = 30 microM.
Journal ArticleDOI

Pharmacological Properties of GABAA Receptors Containing γ1 Subunits

TL;DR: In this article, the authors expressed alpha(1)beta(2)gamma(1)-GABA(A) receptors in Xenopus laevis oocytes and analyzed their modulation by 21 ligands from 12 structural classes making use of the two-microelectrode voltage-clamp method and a fast perfusion system.
Journal ArticleDOI

Modulation of GABAA Receptors by Valerian Extracts is Related to the Content of Valerenic Acid

TL;DR: The data show that the extent of GABAA receptor modulation by Valerian extracts is related to the content of valerenic acid.
Journal ArticleDOI

Automated fast perfusion of Xenopus oocytes for drug screening

TL;DR: A method for automated fast perfusion of neurotransmitters (or drugs) during two-microelectrode voltage-clamp experiments on Xenopus oocytes is described, suitable for screening studies on ligand- and voltage-gated ion channels.
