title = "Characterization of the 1H-cyclopentapyrimidine-2,4(1H,3H)-dione derivative (S)-CPW399, as a novel, potent and subtype-selective agonist of AMPA receptors with densensitization preventing properties",
abstract = "(S)-CPW399 (2b) is a novel, potent, and subtype-selective AMPA receptor full agonist that, unlike (S)-willardiine and related compounds, in mouse cerebellar granule cells, stimulated an increase in [Ca2+](i), and induced neuronal cell death in a time- and concentration-dependent manner. Compound 2b appears to be a weakly desensitizing, full agonist at AMPA receptors and therefore represents a new pharmacological tool to investigate the role of AMPA receptors in excitotoxicity and their molecular mechanisms of desensitization.",

note = "This paper represents an output from the multidisciplinary input by 3 transnational groups funded by a CEC Biotech Programme award. Briefly, input comprises: chemical synthesis (Italy); electrophysiology (Denmark); biochemical neuropharmacotoxicology (Scotland, St Andrews). The paper output very much reflects an example of an equal, discipline-based symbiotic contribution by each group.",
