A Negative Allosteric Modulator of WNT Receptor Frizzled 4 Switches into an Allosteric Agonist. [PDF]
The WNT pathway interconnects a network of signaling events involved in a huge plethora of cellular processes, from organogenesis to tissue homeostasis. Despite its importance, the exiguity of organic drugs directly targeting the members of the Frizzled family of WNT receptors has hampered progress across the whole spectrum of biological fields in ...

Optical control of pain in vivo with a photoactive mGlu5 receptor negative allosteric modulator [PDF]
Light-operated drugs constitute a major target in drug discovery, since they may provide spatiotemporal resolution for the treatment of complex diseases (i.e. chronic pain). JF-NP-26 is an inactive photocaged derivative of the metabotropic glutamate type

The Antiseizure Drug Perampanel Is a Subunit-Selective Negative Allosteric Modulator of Kainate Receptors. [PDF]
Perampanel (PMP) is a third-generation antiseizure drug reported to be a potent and selective noncompetitive negative allosteric modulator of one subfamily of ionotropic glutamate receptor (iGluR), the α-amino-3-hydroxy-S-methylisoxazole-4-propionic acid

An aptamer agonist of the insulin receptor acts as a positive or negative allosteric modulator, depending on its concentration. [PDF]
Aptamers are widely used as binders that interact with targets with high affinity or as inhibitors of the function of target molecules. However, they have also been used to modulate target protein function, which they achieve by activating the target or ...

Membrane Lipids Are an Integral Part of Transmembrane Allosteric Sites in GPCRs: A Case Study of Cannabinoid CB1 Receptor Bound to a Negative Allosteric Modulator, ORG27569, and Analogs. [PDF]
A growing number of G-protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) structures reveal novel transmembrane lipid-exposed allosteric sites. Ligands must first partition into the surrounding membrane and take lipid paths to these sites.

The Negative Allosteric Modulator EU1794-4 Reduces Single-Channel Conductance and Ca2+ Permeability of GluN1/GluN2A N-Methyl-d-Aspartate Receptors. [PDF]
NMDA receptors are ligand-gated ion channels that mediate a slow, Ca2+-permeable component of excitatory synaptic currents. These receptors are involved in several important brain functions, including learning and memory, and have also been implicated in

Blocking glutamate mGlu5 receptors with the negative allosteric modulator CTEP improves disease course in SOD1G93A mouse model of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. [PDF]
The pathogenesis of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is not fully clarified, although excessive glutamate (Glu) transmission and the downstream cytotoxic cascades are major mechanisms for motor neuron death. Two metabotropic glutamate receptors (mGlu1
