Biochem/physiol Actions

D-allylglycine is the enantiomer of L-allylglycine, a glutamate decarboxylase (GAD) inhibitor used in GABA research. D-allylglycine may be used as a control supplement versus L-allylglycine in GABA research. D-allylglycine is used in the organic synthesis of cyclic opioid peptide agonists and antagonists.

The opioid peptide H-Tyr-c[D-Cys-Phe-Phe-Cys]NH(2) cyclized via a methylene dithiother is a potent and selective mu opioid agonist (Przydial M.J. et al., J Peptide Res, 66, 2005, 255). Dicarba analogues of this peptide with Tyr, 2',6'-dimethyltyrosine (Dmt), 3-[2,6-dimethyl-4-hydroxyphenyl)propanoic acid (Dhp) or

Panic patients are vulnerable to induction of panic attacks by sub-threshold interoceptive stimuli such as intravenous (i.v.) sodium lactate infusions. Facilitation of serotonergic signaling with selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors can suppress anxiety and panic-like responses, but the mechanisms involved are

GABA released from accumbal GABAergic interneurons plays an inhibitory role in the regulation of dopamine efflux through GABA(B) and GABA(A) receptors located on accumbal dopaminergic nerve endings. The cytosolic newly synthesised GABA alters vesicular GABA levels and, accordingly, the amount

Spontaneous mutants which acquired the ability to utilize d-allylglycine (d-2-amino-4-pentenoic acid) and dl-cis-crotylglycine (dl-2-amino-cis-4-hexenoic acid) but not l-allylglycine or dl-trans-crotylglycine could be readily isolated from Pseudomonas putida mt-2 (PaM1). Derivative strains of PaM1 putatively cured of the TOL (pWWO) plasmid

Retaining agonistic activity at the glycine coagonist site of the NMDA receptor in molecules derived from glycine or d-serine has proven to be difficult because in the vicinity of the alpha-amino acid group little substitution is tolerated. We have solved
