An antidepressant mechanism underlying the allosteric inhibition of GluN2D-incorporated NMDA receptors at GABAergic interneurons. Sci Adv, 11:eadq0444-eadq0444, 2025 Cited by PubMed Abstract: -methyl-d-aspartate receptors (NMDARs), key excitatory ion channels, have gained attention as anti-depression targets. NMDARs consist of two GluN1 and two GluN2 subunits (2A-2D), which determine their pharmacological properties. Few compounds selectively targeting GluN2 subunits with antidepressant effects have been identified. Here, we present YY-23, a compound that selectively inhibits GluN2C- or GluN2D-containing NMDARs. Cryo-EM analysis revealed that YY-23 binds to the transmembrane domain of the GluN2D subunit. YY-23 primarily affects GluN2D-containing NMDARs on GABAergic interneurons in the prefrontal cortex, suppressing GABAergic neurotransmission and enhancing excitatory transmission. Behavioral assays demonstrate YY-23's rapid antidepressant effects in both stress-naïve and stress-exposed models, which are lost in mice with global or selective knockout of the gene in parvalbumin-positive interneurons. These findings highlight GluN2D-containing NMDARs on GABAergic interneurons as potential depression treatment targets.
