Discovery of a Tamoxifen-related compound that suppresses glial l-glutamate transport activity without interaction with estrogen receptors.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
We recently found that tamoxifen suppresses l-glutamate transport activity of cultured astrocytes. Here, in an attempt to separate the l-glutamate transporter-inhibitory activity from the estrogen receptor-mediated genomic effects, we synthesized several compounds structurally related to tamoxifen. Among them, we identified two compounds, 1 (YAK01) and 3 (YAK037), which potently inhibited l-glutamate transporter activity. The inhibitory effect of 1 was found to be mediated through estrogen receptors and the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK)/phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K) pathway, though 1 showed greatly reduced transactivation activity compared with that of 17β-estradiol. On the other hand, compound 3 exerted its inhibitory effect through an estrogen receptor-independent and MAPK-independent, but PI3K-dependent pathway, and showed no transactivation activity. Compound 3 may represent a new platform for developing novel l-glutamate transporter inhibitors with higher brain transfer rates and reduced adverse effects.
