Binding of the coagonist glycine to the N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) subtype of glutamate receptors is potently antagonized by 2-carboxy-4-hydroxyquinolines. We show that closely related derivatives, 4-hydroxy-quinolines and 4-hydroxquinoline-3-carboxylic acids, antagonize the agonist response of the recombinant inhibitory glycine receptor (GlyR). In Xenopus laevis oocytes expressing the GlyR al...
