Potent glutamate carboxypeptidase II (GCPII; NAAG peptidase; NAALADase I; PSMA) inhibitor that suppresses PCP-induced motor activity in vivo.
ZJ43 is a urea-based N-acetylaspartylglutamate (NAAG) analog and a potent glutamate carboxypeptidase II (GCPII; NAAG peptidase; N-acetylaspartylglutamate peptidase I; NAALADase I; prostate-specific membrane antigen; PSMA) inhibitor (Ki = 0.8 nM/hGCPII vs 23 nM/hGCPIII) with no affinity toward NMDAR or mGluRs. ZJ43 effectively suppresses phencyclidine-induced motor activity (150 mg ZJ43/kg, 10 mg PCP/kg i.p.) and displays antinociceptive efficacy (100 mg/kg i.v.) in rats in vivo. Comparing to Quisqualate and 2-PMPA, ZJ43 shows human species-selectivity over murine GCPII (Ki = 0.58 nM/h vs. 5.9 nM/m using respective avi-tagged extracellular GCPII).
