We discuss the potential use of multicomponent reactions in developing small-molecule probes of GABA(A) receptor function. Two examples that illustrate this approach are presented: the synthesis of a class of compounds that specifically modulate the function of GABA(A) receptors containing the δ-subunit, and also 'caged' GABA derivatives. A caged GABA is a photolabile precursor of GABA that releases GABA upon photolysis.
我们讨论了多组分反应在开发 GABA(A) 受体功能的小分子探针方面的潜在应用。本文呈现了两个说明这种方法的例子:一类化合物的合成,这些化合物特异性调节含有 δ 亚基的 GABA(A) 受体的功能;以及“笼型”GABA 衍生物。“笼型”GABA 是 GABA 的光不稳定前体,在光解时释放 GABA。
