Benzyl-polyamines: novel, potent N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor antagonists.
The effects of benzyl-polyamines were studied at recombinant N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptors expressed in Xenopus laevis oocytes. A number of mono-, di- and tri-benzyl polyamines, having benzyl substitutions on the terminal or central amino groups, inhibited responses of NR1/NR2 receptors in oocytes voltage-clamped at -70 mV. Among the most potent compounds was N1,N4, N8-tri-benzyl-spermi...
متن کاملInhibition of the α9α10 nicotinic cholinergic receptor by neramexane, an open channel blocker of N-methyl-D-aspartate receptors
In this study we report the effects of neramexane, a novel amino-alkyl-cyclohexane derivative that is a non-competitive N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor antagonist, on recombinant rat α9α10 nicotinic acetylcholine receptors expressed in Xenopus laevis oocytes. We compared its effects with those of memantine, a well-studied pore blocker of NMDA receptors, currently used in therapeutics for t...
متن کاملN-methyl-D-aspartate receptor channel blocker-like discriminative stimulus effects of nitrous oxide gas.
Nitrous oxide (N2O) gas is a widely used anesthetic adjunct in dentistry and medicine that is also commonly abused. Studies have shown that N2O alters the function of the N-methyl-d-aspartate (NMDA), GABAA, opioid, and serotonin receptors among others. However, the receptors systems underlying the abuse-related central nervous system effects of N2O are unclear. The present study explores the re...
متن کاملA novel N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor open channel blocker with in vivo neuroprotectant activity.
Excitotoxicity has been implicated in the etiology of ischemic stroke, chronic neurodegenerative disorders, and very recently, in glioma growth. Thus, the development of novel neuroprotectant molecules that reduce excitotoxic brain damage is vigorously pursued. We have used an ionic current block-based cellular assay to screen a synthetic combinatorial library of trimers of N-alkylglycines on t...
متن کاملAn N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor channel blocker with neuroprotective activity.
Excitotoxicity, resulting from sustained activation of glutamate receptors of the N-methyl-d-aspartate (NMDA) subtype, is considered to play a causative role in the etiology of ischemic stroke and several neurodegenerative diseases. The NMDA receptor is therefore a target for the development of neuroprotective agents. Here, we identify an N-benzylated triamine (denoted as NBTA) as a highly sele...
