HBT1 is an AMPA receptor enhancer that induces the production of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) and has little or no excitatory effect in primary neurons. HBT1 binds to the ligand binding domain of AMPA-R in a glutamate-dependent manner.


HBT1 bound to the ligand-binding domain (LBD) of AMPA-R in a glutamate-dependent manner.?The mode of HBT1 and LY451395 binding to a pocket in the LBD of AMPA-R differed: HBT1, formed hydrogen bonds with S518 in the LBD.?Lower agonistic profile of HBT1 may associate with its lower risks of bell-shaped responses in BDNF production in primary neurons.

Benefits of HBT1

AMPA-R agonists, which can activate all AMPA-Rs, including resting receptors, have been shown to induce both desensitization of AMPA-R and seizure (Yamada, 1998Beattie et al., 2000Ehlers, 2000). AMPA-R potentiators are considered to have better pharmacological profiles because of their selective enhancement of physiologic activation of AMPA-Rs in the brain. However, AMPA-R potentiators such as LY451646, LY451395, and S18986 are reported to elicit bell-shaped responses in various pharmacological effects: LY451646 is reported to show bell-shaped responses in in vivo BDNF induction, and the bell-shaped response of LY451395 in the radial maze task was described in the introduction section of a report about LY451395 (Mackowiak et al., 2002Bai et al., 2003Fowler et al., 2004Jhee et al., 2006Bernard et al., 2010). PF-4778574 is reported to have less than a 30-fold safety margin against seizure in rodents (Shaffer et al., 2013). Thus, discovery of AMPA-R potentiators with lower risks of these issues is needed.
