Description
TCN-201 is a subunit-selective negative allosteric modulator of GluN1/GluN2A NMDA receptors. It inhibits human recombinant GluN1/GluN2A receptors with a pIC50 of 6.8 and is much less active at GluN1/GluN2B receptors, with a pIC50 below 4.3. TCN-201 binds at the GluN1–GluN2A ligand-binding-domain interface and reduces receptor activation by decreasing the apparent affinity of the GluN1 co-agonist site for glycine or D-serine.
Inhibition by TCN-201 is therefore strongly dependent on co-agonist concentration but largely independent of glutamate concentration. This mechanism makes the compound a useful tool for distinguishing GluN2A-containing receptors and for studying NMDA receptor allostery, glycine-site coupling, synaptic transmission, plasticity, and excitotoxic signaling.
Key Features

- pIC50: 6.8 at GluN1/GluN2A receptors
- pIC50: below 4.3 at GluN1/GluN2B receptors
- Reduces glycine and D-serine co-agonist potency
- Binds the GluN1–GluN2A ligand-binding-domain interface
Applications
- GluN2A NMDA receptor pharmacology
- NMDA receptor subunit-composition studies
- Glycine-site and allosteric coupling research
- Synaptic plasticity and excitotoxicity models
- Glutamatergic neurotransmission
