Application SPOTLIGHT

Screening positive allosteric modulators for NMDA Receptors

NMDAR hypofunction is implicated in the pathophysiology of schizophrenia. Positive allosteric modulators (PAMs) are molecules capable of enhancing a receptor's signal. In a recent study, IonFlux HT technology was used in a screening pipeline to identify GluN2A selective NMDAR PAMs.

Application Spotlight

Identifying potential analgesic candidates

Glycine receptors play a key role in mediating inhibitory neurotransmission and hence contribute to the regulation of pain signaling in the dorsal horn. This recent study used IonFlux HT technology to identify positive allosteric modulators for GlyRα3.
