Abstract
The actions of THIP (4,5,6,7-tetrahydroisoxazolo[5,4-c]pyridin-3-ol) and ZAPA (Z-3-[(aminoiminomethyl)thio]prop-2-enoic acid) were tested on an ionotropic homo-oligomeric GABA receptor of Drosophila melanogaster. The amplitude of currents activated by THIP and ZAPA declined rapidly during agonist application and a rebound response was observed on washout. By correcting the pH shift induced by these acid salts, responses more typical of GABA agonists were seen. Less striking pH-dependence was observed in the case of GABA responses.
