1. PMBA is a novel antagonist of strychnine-sensitive glycine receptors in the rat spinal cord, however, its mode of action is unknown. The actions of PMBA on rat glycine receptor alpha1 and alpha2 homomers in Xenopus oocytes were studied under two-electrode voltage-clamp. 2. Co-application of PMBA and glycine to both alpha1 and alpha2 homomers yielded inward currents which decayed to a steady-state. Responses rose slowly to the same steady-state amplitude following a 2 min pre-incubation in PMBA. Strychnine, but not picrotoxinin, showed similar antagonism to PMBA. The potency of PMBA was independent of membrane potential between -100 and 0 mV. 3. When tested against EC50 concentrations of glycine, PMBA was almost equally potent on alpha1 (IC50, 406+/-41 nM: Hill coefficient, 1.5+/-0.2) and alpha2 (IC50, 539+/-56 nM; Hill coefficient, 1.4+/-0.2) homomers. 4. PMBA (1-I0 microM) and strychnine (200 nM) reduced the potency of glycine and the amplitude of the maximal agonist response of alpha1 and alpha2 homomers. In 10 microM PMBA, two distinct classes of glycine response were observed on alpha2, only a single class of responses were observed on alpha1. 5. There are similarities in PMBA and strychnine antagonism, although these compounds are structurally distinct. The possibility that PMBA interacts at two binding sites which differ in alpha1 and alpha2 subunits is discussed. PMBA may provide a lead structure for novel antagonists with which to investigate structural differences in glycine receptor at alpha1 and alpha2 subunits.
