Approximate IC50 values for conantokins tested against various NR2 subunits.
Peptide | NR2A IC50 (μM) |
NR2B IC50 (μM) |
NR2C IC50 (μM) |
NR2D IC50 (μM) |
NR2D/NR2B IC50 Ratio | NR2C/NR2B IC50 Ratio |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Con-P | 2.3 | 0.3 | ≫ 10 | ≥ 10 | > 10 | ≫10 |
Con-R | ~1 | 1.0 | 7.3 | ≫ 10 | ≫ 10 | 7.3 |
Con-G | ≫ 10 | 0.1 | 1 | 1 | 10 | 10 |
Con-Pr1 | ≫ 10 | 0.2 | ≥ 10 | 1 | 5 | ≥ 10 |
Con-Pr2 | ≫ 10 | 0.5 | ≥ 10 | 1 | 2 | ≥ 10 |
Con-Pr3 | ≫ 10 | 0.5 | ≥ 10 | 8 | 16 | ≥ 10 |
Con-P IC50 values were obtained from the concentration-response curves in Fig. 6; data for Con-Pr1, Con-Pr2, Con-Pr3, and Con-G were obtained from Teichert et al., (2007); data for Con-R obtained using NR1-1b subunit in combination with NR2 subunits (White et al., 2000).
