Description:

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

Ifenprodil is an inhibitor of the NMDA receptor, specifically of GluN1 (glycine-binding NMDA receptor subunit 1) and GluN2B (glutamate-binding NMDA receptor subunit 2) subunits. Additionally, ifenprodil inhibits GIRK channels, and interacts with alpha1 adrenergic, serotonin, and sigma receptors.

More Info
NMDA receptors are multimeric ionotropic glutamate receptors composed of four subunits. GluN1 is obligate for functional expression. Other subunits include GluN2A, GluN2B, and the more recently discovered GluN3 subunits. Ifenprodil selectively blocks NMDA receptors containing the GluN2B subunit.
Product Data
Biological target:
Ifenprodil tartrate is a typical noncompetitive NMDA receptor antagonist. Ifenprodil tartrate exerts high affinity at NR1A/NR2B receptors (IC50=0.34 μM) over 400-fold than at NR1A/NR2A receptors (IC50=146 μM). Ifenprodil tartrate inhibits GIRK (Kir3), reduces inward currents through the basal GIRK activity. Ifenprodil tartrate has the potential to be a cerebral vasodilator.
In vitro activity:
In experiments with "younger" neurons, 6-8 days in vitro (6-8 DIV), in which the NR2A-containing NMDAR expression is low, ifenprodil, an inhibitor of NR2B-containing NMDAR, completely prevented DCD whereas PEAQX, another NMDAR antagonist that preferentially interacts with NR2A-NMDAR, was without effect. This suggests that ifenprodil, Ro 25-6981, and Co 101244 inhibit NCX(rev). The ability of ifenprodil to inhibit NCX(rev) correlates with its efficacy in preventing DCD and emphasizes an important role of NCX(rev) in DCD.

In vivo activity:
Ifenprodil treatment also reduced the frequency [F(1,10) = 31.756; p < .001; ηp2 = 0.761] (Figure 2D) and duration [F(1,10) = 10.075; p = 0.010; ηp2 = 0.502] (Figure 2E) of anogenital sniffing. Planned comparisons show that ifenprodil treatment reduced the frequency of anogenital sniffing in both SAC [F(1,5) = 17.043; p = 0.009; ηp2 = 0.773] and PAE rats [F(1,5) = 15.180; p = 0.011; ηp2 = 0.752], while ifenprodil treatment only reduced the duration of anogenital sniffing in the SAC group [F(1,5) = 11.140; p = 0.021; ηp2 = 0.021] (PAE: p > 0.22). Ifenprodil reduced the frequency of wrestling [F(1,10) = 5.735; p = 0.038; ηp2 = 0.364] (Figure 2F), which planned comparison show was significant in PAE animals [F(1,5) = 15.638; p = 0.011; ηp2 = 0.758] and not in SAC controls (p > 0.89).
