Description:

WARNING: This product is for research use only, not for human or veterinary use.

Selfotel, also known as CGS-19755 and CPDD 0027, is a competitive NMDA antagonist. Selfotel directly competes with glutamate for binding to the receptor. Initial studies showed it to have anticonvulsant, anxiolytic, analgesic and neuroprotective effects, and it was originally researched for the treatment of stroke, but subsequent animal and human studies showed phencyclidine-like effects, as well as limited efficacy and evidence for possible neurotoxicity under some conditions, and so clinical development was ultimately discontinued.

Safety Data Sheet (SDS)
Biological target:
Selfotel is a selective and competitive antagonist at N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA)-preferring receptor. Selfotel inhibits the binding of [3H]-3-(2-carboxypiperazin-4-yl)propyl-1-phosphonic acid to NMDA-type receptors with an IC50 of 50 nM.
In vitro activity:
This study investigated selfotel’s NMDA antagonist activity. Selfotel effectively inhibited NMDA-evoked [3H] acetylcholine release in rat striatum slices, indicating a competitive interaction with NMDA-type receptors. Selfotel inhibited the binding of [3H]-3-(2-carboxypiperazin-4-yl)propyl-1-phosphonic acid to NMDA-type receptors (IC50 = 50 nM). Selfotel exhibited high selectivity, lacking interaction with 23 other receptor types, including excitatory amino acid receptors.

In vivo activity:
Selfotel disrupted recovery following cerebellar lesions. Limb hyperflexion, wide-based locomotion, side falls, tremor, and body tilt were prevalent, indicating a "decompensation" triggered by selfotel. In control rats, selfotel slightly affected postural patterns and significantly worsened motor skills requiring coordination and balance. However, in cerebellectomized and hemicerebellectomized rats, the cerebellar symptomatology dramatically worsened, resembling behaviors immediately post-surgery.
