Product Data
Biological target:
Neramexane Free Base is a drug related to memantine, which acts as an NMDA antagonist.
In vitro activity:
This study reports the effects of neramexane, a novel amino-alkyl-cyclohexane derivative that is a non-competitive N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor antagonist, on recombinant rat alpha9alpha10 nicotinic acetylcholine receptors expressed in Xenopus laevis oocytes. The results indicate that both compounds block acetylcholine-evoked responses at micromolar concentrations with a rank order of potency of neramexane>memantine, P<0.05. Block by neramexane of acetylcholine responses was not overcome at high concentrations of the agonist, indicative of a non-competitive inhibition.

In vivo activity:
Here this study determined the antinociceptive effect of chronic administration of neramexane and compared its effect with that of memantine and gabapentin in a rat model of diabetic neuropathic pain. Compared with vehicle-treated rats, treatment with neramexane (12.3, 24.6, and 49.2 mg/kg/day) for 2 weeks via an osmotic minipump produced dose-dependent and sustained effects on mechanical hyperalgesia and allodynia.
