Description:

WARNING: This product is for research use only, not for human or veterinary use.

PMPA is a NAALADase inhibitor. PMPA increases threshold for electroconvulsions and enhances the antiseizure action of valproate against maximal electroshock-induced seizures in mice. Inhibition of NAALADase by 2-PMPA attenuates cocaine-induced relapse in rats: a NAAG-mGluR2/3-mediated mechanism. PMPA attenuates magnetic resonance BOLD signals in brain of anesthetized mice: evidence of a link between neuron NAAG release and hyperemia.

Biological target:
2-PMPA is a potent and selective inhibitor of glutamate carboxypeptidase II (GCPII) with an IC50 of 300 pM.
In vitro activity:
2-PMPA was applied to the cell cultures to determine the efficacy of this NAAG peptidase inhibitor in reducing ketamine-induced neurotoxicity. As shown in Fig. 9A, the neurotoxic effects of ketamine (2 mM) were significantly attenuated by 2-PMPA (100 μM) when the drug was co-incubated for 24 h in neuron–glia mixed cultures (p < 0.05). However, the decrease of cell viability induced by ketamine (10 μM) was not significantly attenuated by coincubation with 2-PMPA (20, 50, 100 μM) in neuronal cultures (Fig. 9B, p > 0.05). The morphological changes of neurons and astrocytes in response to 2-PMPA against ketamine induced neurotoxicity was assessed in the mixed cultures and neuronal cultures using Rosenfield's staining (Fig. 10, Fig. 11, respectively). As shown in Fig. 10A, neurons and astrocytes in the mixed cultures of vehicle control group grew in good condition. After treatment with 2 mM ketamine for 24 h, the cell bodies of astrocytes were shrunken and cytoplasmic vacuoles appeared. Neurites of neurons disappeared and cell bodies were swollen (Fig. 10B). The number of neuronal nodes in the ketamine group was significantly lower than that in the vehicle control group (Fig. 10G, p < 0.05). 2-PMPA (100 μM) alone had no apparent influence on neuron and astrocyte morphology (Fig. 10C). Treatment with 2-PMPA (20 and 50 μM, Fig. 10D, E and G, respectively) for 24 h did not mitigate the damage of neurons and astrocytes induced by ketamine. While treatment with 2-PMPA (100 μM) for 24 h, the damage of astrocytes induced by ketamine was not improved, but the neuron morphology was improved, and neurite extension and apparent cross linking was retained (Fig. 10F).

In vivo activity:
The NAAG peptidase inhibitor 2-PMPA (2-(phosphonomethyl)pentanedioic acid) had neuroprotective activity in an animal model of stroke and anti-allodynic activity in CCI model despite its uncertain ability to penetrate the blood-brain barrier. The NAAG concentration in brain ECF under basal conditions and its alteration in relation to the brain ECF concentration of 2-PMPA is unclear. We therefore assessed those brain concentrations after i.p. administration of 2-PMPA, using in vivo microdialysis combined with LC/MS/MS analysis. Administration of 2-PMPA (50mg/kg) produced a mean peak concentration of 2-PMPA of 29.66+/-8.1microM. This concentration is about 100,000 fold more than is needed for inhibition of NAAG peptidase, and indicates very good penetration to the brain. Application of 2-PMPA was followed by a linear increase of NAAG-concentration reaching a maximum of 2.89+/-0.42microM at the end of microdialysis. However, during the time the anti-allodynic effects of 2-PMPA were observed, the NAAG concentration in the ECF did not reach levels which are likely to have an impact on any known target. It appears therefore that the observed behavioural effects of 2-PMPA may not be mediated by NAAG nor, in turn, by mGluR3 receptors.
