Kainate generates in adult hippocampal neurons a seizure but also a massive excitation of interneurons and a dramatic increase of the inhibitory drive that impinges on principal cells. This “overinhibition” is largely mediated by GluR5-containing kainate receptors that are enriched on interneurons. Here, using the neonatal intact hippocampus in vitro and the triple chamber, we first show that this mechanism is fully operative in neonatal neurons. We then report that application to one hippocampus of ( RS)-2-amino-3-(5-tert-butyl-3-hydroxy-4-isoxazolyl)propionic acid—a relatively selective agonist of GluR5 containing kainate receptors—depresses the propagation of seizure generated in the opposite hippocampus by a convulsive agent. We conclude that the selective excitation of interneurons by GluR5-containing kainate receptor agonists opens a new therapeutic approach for the epilepsies.

The amino propanoic acid chelating fiber (APACF) was prepared by immobilizing tetraethylenepentamine (TEPA) and propionic acid on polypropylene-graft-styrene (PP-g-ST). The synthetic conditions of amino PP-g-ST fiber and APACF were optimized by the way of L16(45) orthogonal experiment, and the optimizing reaction conditions were obtained. APACF was characterized by FTIR, and the changes of IR spectrum verified the introduction of carboxyl groups to the raw material. The experimental results revealed that the APACF can be used to remove and enrich copper from aqueous solution.
