Glycine reuptake inhibitor(GlyT1)
Featured Products
Bitopertin (CAS 845614-11-1), also known as RG1678, is a selective inhibitor of glycine transporter-1 (GlyT1), exhibiting an EC50 of 30 nM in vitro. GlyT1 inhibition increases synaptic glycine, a co-agonist at N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor glycine-binding sites, thereby enhancing NMDA receptor-mediated glutamatergic neurotransmission. This mechanism addresses glutamatergic dysfunction implicated in schizophrenia. Clinical studies indicate that adjunctive bitopertin treatment improves negative symptoms in schizophrenia patients, highlighting its therapeutic potential as a GlyT1-targeted research tool and drug candidate.
