TFB-TBOA
Chemical Name: (3S)-3-[[3-[[4-(Trifluoromethyl)benzoyl]amino]phenyl]methoxy]-L-aspartic acid
Purity: ≥98%
Biological Activity
TFB-TBOA is a potent and selective glial glutamate transporter EAAT1 and EAAT2 inhibitor (IC50 values are 17, 22 and 300 nM for EAAT2, EAAT1 and EAAT3, respectively). Exhibits selectivity for EAAT1 and EAAT2 over EAAT4 and EAAT5, and a wide range of neuronal receptors and transporters. In HEK293 cells expressing human EAAT1, 2, and 3, TFB-TBOA exhibited selectivity for hEAAT1 and hEAAT2 over hEAAT3 (respective IC50 values are 3.6, 10, and 120 nM), while in tsA201 cells expressing rat EAAT4, [3H]-d-Asp uptake was inhibited with an IC50 of 40 nM. Attenuates glutamate-stimulated intracellular Na+ elevation in astrocytes in vitro (IC50 = 43 nM). Induces severe convulsions in vivo.Technical Data
