DQP-1105 decreases open probability of GluN1/GluN2D receptor channels

GluN1/GluN2D receptors were expressed in HEK cells and activated by glutamate (1 mM) and glycine (50 μM) in outside-out patches held under voltage clamp at −80 mV. Responses were recorded first to glutamate plus glycine (7862 open periods), and subsequently to glutamate plus glycine coapplied with 3 μM (5724 open periods) or 30 μM DQP-1105 (954 open periods) to the same patch. All values are mean ± S.E.M. (n = 4 patches). Because all patches contained multiple channels, POPEN was normalized to the value for the patch in the absence of DQP-1105 for statistical testing.
