Figure 1. AMPAR mediated whole-cell current in rat CA1 pyramidal in response to application of (RS)-AMPA

The AMPA receptor agonist (RS)–AMPA is typically used at concentrations of 1-100 µM. At 10 µM, (RS)–AMPA from Hello Bio induced a large depolarising current. This depolarising current was occluded in the presence of the AMPA receptor antagonist NBQX (20 µM). For assay protocol, see #Protocol 1 in Application Notes below.

Biological Data

Biological description

Prototypic AMPA receptor agonist (EC50 = 11 μM). (S)-AMPA is the active enantiomer form.

Application notes

The AMPA receptor agonist (R,S)-AMPA is typically used at concentrations of 1-100 µM. At 10 µM, (R,S)-AMPA from Hello Bio induces a large depolarising current. This depolarising current was occluded in the presence of the AMPA receptor antagonist NBQX (20µM). (See Fig 1 above).


#Protocol 1: (R,S)-AMPA protocol

  • Whole cell voltage clamp recordings of CA1 pyramidal neurons from the rat hippocampal brain slice.
  • Neurons were held at -60 mV and continuously perfused with aCSF in the presence of the GABA receptor antagonist gabazine (20µM).
  • AMPA currents were evoked via applying (R,S)-AMPA directly to the recording chamber during continuous perfusion.
  • To test the selectivity of (R,S)-AMPA to AMPA receptors, the experiment was repeated within the same neuron in the presence of the AMPA receptor antagonist NBQX (20 µM)
  • Under these conditions (R,S)-AMPA failed to induce a depolarising current.
