Application

L-trans-Pyrrolidine-2,4-dicarboxylic acid has been used:
  • as a glutamate transport inhibitor to test its impairing effect on glutamate-induced cell death in HT22 neuronal cells
  • as an analog of glutamate to test its effect on glutamate/glutamine-dependent acid resistance of E. coli and S. flexneri
  • as sodium glutamate (Na+/Glu) cotransporter inhibitor in myogenic cell line C2C12

Biochem/physiol Actions

L-trans-Pyrrolidine-2,4-dicarboxylic acid is a selective glutamate transporter inhibitor.

Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders are painful conditions that are more prevalent in women than men. This study tested the hypothesis that acute inflammation of the TMJ region evoked sex-related changes in amino acid transmitter concentrations at the trigeminal subnucleus/upper cervical

In order to determine the conformational requirements for binding of L-glutamate to the proteins involved in the process of neurotransmission, rigid analogues containing an embedded glutamate moiety have been prepared. These "conformer mimics", the pyrrolidine-2,4-dicarboxylates 4, 7, 11, and 14

In insects, gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) and glutamate mediate fast inhibitory neurotransmission through ligand-gated chloride channel receptors. Both GABA and glutamate have been identified in the olfactory circuit of the honeybee. Here we investigated the role of inhibitory transmission mediated by

An off-line in vivo neurochemical monitoring approach was developed based on collecting nanoliter microdialysate fractions as an array of "plugs" segmented by immiscible oil in a piece of Teflon tubing. The dialysis probe was integrated with the plug generator in

Electrophysiological data suggest an involvement of rostral ventromedial medulla (RVM) GABA and glutamate (GLU) neurons in morphine analgesia. Direct evidence that extracellular concentrations of GABA or GLU are altered in response to mu opioid receptor (MOP-R) activation is, however, lacking.
