A-438079 is a competitive antagonist of the nucleotide receptor P2X7 (pIC50 = 6.9). It inhibits both calcium flux and IL-1beta release mediated by P2X7 while not affecting the activity of other P2X receptors. A-438079 is effective in evaluating the role of P2X7 in nociception, oxidative stress, and apoptosis in...

NMDA is a synthetic amino acid derivative that acts as a specific agonist at the NMDA receptor, mimicking the excitatory action of the endogenous ligand glutamate. Signaling through the NMDA receptor influences both neuronal plasticity and neurotoxicity. Repetitive activation of NMDA synapses leads to long-term...

9-cis-Retinoic acid is a natural metabolite of vitamin A, derived from the intermediate all-trans retinoic acid (Cay-11017). It potently activates all isoforms of retinoic acid receptor (RAR) (Ki = 0.5-27 nM) as well as retinoid X receptor (RXR) isoforms (Ki = 3.8-12 nM). RAR heterodimerizes with RXR, while RXR can...

DNQX is a competitive, non-NMDA glutamate receptor antagonist (IC50s = 0.5 and 0.1 µM for AMPA and kainate receptors, respectively versus IC50 = 40 µM for NMDA receptors). This compound has been used to specifically target AMPA and kainate receptor responses and thus differentiate from that of NMDA receptors. DNQX...

SR 95531 is a derivative of gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) that acts as an antagonist of GABAA receptors (Ki = 74-150 nM). When administered intravenously, it elicits seizures in mice. SR 95531 differs in action from bicuculline (Cay-11727) in that it antagonizes GABA-induced chloride currents but not those induced...

The casein kinase 1 (CK1) family of kinases regulate diverse processes, particularly related to circadian rhythms and sensitivity to amphetamines. PF-670462 is a potent inhibitor of the CK1 isoforms CK1epsilon and CK1delta (IC50 = 7.7 and 14 nM, respectively). It less effectively inhibits a wide variety of related...

The KCNQ potassium channels are neuronal modulators which combine with other KQT or KCNE channels to form heteromultimers. XE 991 is a blocker of KCNQ channels that potently inhibits KCNQ1 and 2 homomeric channels (IC50 = 0.75 and 0.71 µM, respectively) as well as KCNQ2+3 heteromultimers (IC50 = 0.6 µM). It much...

Ibotenic acid is a neuroexcitatory amino acid originally isolated from Amanita species that functions as a NMDA and metabotropic glutamate receptor agonist. As a neurotoxin, ibotenic acid is often used to induce brain lesions in animals that model cognitive dysfunctions resulting from neurodegenerative diseases,...
