15207356 Whitehead KJ, Pearce SM, Walker G, Sundaram H, Hill D, Bowery NG: Positive N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor modulation by selective glycine transporter-1 inhibition in the rat dorsal spinal cord in vivo. Neuroscience. 2004;126(2):381-90.

In this study we have employed the selective glycine transporter-1 (GlyT-1) and GlyT-2 transporter inhibitors R-(-)-N-methyl-N-[3-[(4-trifluoromethyl) phenoxy]-3-phenyl-propyl] glycine (1:1) lithium salt (Org 24598) and 4-benzyloxy-3,5-dimethoxy-N-[1-(dimethylaminocyclopently) methyl] benzamide (Org 25543), respectively, and microdialysis perfusion to determine the effect of GlyT transporter inhibition on extracellular amino acid concentrations in the lumbar dorsal spinal cord of the halothane-anaesthetised rat.
Co-administration by reverse dialysis of the selective NMDA-R channel blocker MK-801 (0.5 mM) or the selective antagonist of the strychnine-insensitive glycine site, 7-chlorokynurenic acid (1 mM), with Org 24598 (10 microM) did not affect the uptake inhibition-induced increase in glycine efflux, but did significantly attenuate the increase in extracellular citrulline.

The neuronal transporter GlyT2 is one of the critical presynaptic factors, because glycinergic transmission is impaired in knock-out GlyT2 (-/-) mice and mutations in the human GlyT2 gene slc6a5 are sufficient to cause hyperekplexia.
