Abstract

The (2S,4R)- and (2S,4S)-4-hydroxyglutamates activate cloned mGlu(1a), mGlu(2), and mGlu(8a) receptors with different potencies. Best results were obtained with the (2S,4S) isomer being almost as potent as glutamate on mGlu(1a)R and mGlu(8a)R. Data are interpreted on the basis of the binding site model and X-ray structure.
