PEPA is an allosteric potentiator of AMPA desensitization.
Novel allosteric potentiator of AMPA receptor desensitization. Slows the rate of onset of desensitization and potentiates steady-state equilibrium currents induced by glutamate with subunit (GluR3/4 > GluR1) and splice variant (flop > flip) selectivity. Ameliorates post-ischemic memory impairment in rats following i.v. administration.
2,6-Difluoro-4-[2-(phenylsul-fonyl-amino)-ethyl-thio]-phenoxy-acet-amide is a structurally novel, selective, high affinity AMPA ionotropic glutamate receptor agonist that reduces ischemia-induced performance deficits in rats.
