Antidepressant Effects of (+)-MK-801 and (-)-MK-801 in the Social Defeat Stress Model
BACKGROUND Current data on antidepressant action of the N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor antagonist, (+)-MK-801, is inconsistent. This study was conducted to examine the effects of (+)-MK-801 and its less potent stereoisomer, (-)-MK-801, in the social defeat stress model of depression. METHODS The antidepressant effects of (+)-MK-801 (0.1mg/kg) and (-)-MK-801 (0.1mg/kg) in the social defeat stre...
متن کاملMK-801 is a potent nematocidal agent. Characterization of MK-801 binding sites in Caenorhabditis elegans.
MK-801, an N-methyl-D-aspartate antagonist in mammalian brain tissue, is a potent nematocidal agent. Specific MK-801 binding sites have been identified and characterized in a membrane fraction prepared from the free-living nematode Caenorhabditis elegans. The high-affinity MK-801 binding site has an apparent dissociation constant, Kd, of 225 nM. Unlike the MK-801 binding site in mammalian tissu...
متن کاملAgmatine enhances antidepressant potency of MK-801 and conventional antidepressants in mice
Agmatine, an endogenous guanidine amine, has been shown to produce antidepressant-like effects in animal studies. This study investigated the effects of the combined administration of agmatine with either conventional monoaminergic antidepressants or the N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor antagonist MK-801 in the tail suspension test (TST) in mice. The aim was to evaluate the extent of the an...
متن کاملMK-801 protects the neonatal brain from hypoxic-ischemic damage.
Enhanced synaptic release of excitatory amino acid neurotransmitters may contribute to brain injury from hypoxia-ischemia (Meldrum, 1985; Simon et al., 1984). To examine this hypothesis in neonatal brain we tested MK-80I , a novel noncompetitive N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor antagonist, using an in vivo experimental model of hypoxic-ischemic forebrain injury (Johnston, 1983). To induce i...
متن کاملClinical physiology and mechanism of dizocilpine (MK-801)
Dizocilpine (MK-801), an extensively investigated drug possessing secondary amine and benzenoid functions, displays a wide array of biological properties, including anticonvulsant and anesthetic. There is scant discussion of biomechanism. A relevant, important finding is formation of oxidative metabolites in the hydroxylamine and phenolic categories. Analogy to cocaine metabolites suggests part...
