UCPH-102 is a selective inhibitor of the Excitatory Amino Acid Transporter subtype-1 (EAAT1, GLAST) with an IC50 value of 420 nM for EAAT1 and >300 μM for EAAT2-5. UCPH-102 has been shown to cross the blood-brain barrier, so should become a valuable tool for studying the role of EAAT1 in brain.
UCPH-102 is a selective inhibitor of the Excitatory Amino Acid Transporter subtype-1 (EAAT1, GLAST).
The excitatory amino acid transporters (EAATs) play a pivotal role in regulating the synaptic concentration of glutamate in the mammalian central nervous system. To date, five different subtypes have been identified, named EAAT15 in humans (and GLAST, GLT-1, EAAC1, EAAT4

In the present study, the mechanism of action and molecular basis for the activity of the first class of selective inhibitors of the human excitatory amino acid transporter subtype 1 (EAAT1) and its rodent ortholog GLAST are elucidated. The previously
Uptake of the major excitatory neurotransmitter in the CNS, (S)-glutamate, is mediated by a family of excitatory amino acid transporters (EAAT). Previously we have explored the structure-activity relationship (SAR) of a series of EAAT1 selective inhibitors, leading to the development
