Inhibitory Actions of Tropeines on the α3 Glycine Receptor Function
Conclusion
The present work describes the sensitivity of homomeric α3GlyRs to tropeines. Our results provide additional insights on the molecular mechanisms associated with the modulation of GlyRs by tropeines. A better understanding of the structural basis involved in the tropeine-GlyR interactions may contribute to the design of novel tropeine-based derivatives for basic and/or clinical applications.
