NMDA receptors are neuroreceptors that have binding sites for glycine or D-serine as well as L-glutamate. MDL 29951 is an antagonist of NMDA receptors with high affinity for the glycine binding site (Ki = 140 nM). It is functional both in vitro and in vivo. MDL 29951 blocks NMDA receptor-dependent convulsions in...

Apoptosis signal-regulating kinase 1 (ASK1) is the ubiquitously expressed mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase kinase 5 involved in a wide range of biological functions that are dependent on cell survival or death. NQDI-1 is a specific inhibitor of ASK1 (IC50 = 3 µM, Ki = 500 nM) that demonstrates potent...
