It works! PEAQX (NVP-AAM 077) blocks a considerable portion of the NMDA-mediated current in whole cell patch set-up. Verified customer, Rutgers University
Potent and competitive NMDA receptor antagonist. Binds at the glutamate site.
Shows some selectivity (~7-10-fold) for GluN1/2A (NR1/2A) over GluN1/2B (NR1/2B) subunit containing receptors (IC50 values are 31 and 215 nM at GluN1/2A and GluN1/2B respectively).
Shows anticonvulsant activity. Active in vivo.
