Description:

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

Memantine Hydrochloride is the hydrochloride salt of memantine, a low-affinity, voltage-dependent, noncompetitive N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor antagonist. Memantine binds to and inhibits cation channels of glutamanergic NMDA receptors located in the central nervous system, preventing the prolonged influx of calcium ions and the associated neuronal excitotoxicity, and thereby potentially enhancing cognitive function. Memantine is also a 5-hydroxytryptamine type 3 (5HT3) receptor and nicotinic receptor antagonist.

Biological target:
Memantine (hydrochloride) (D-145 (hydrochloride)) is a moderate affinity, uncompetitive NMDA receptor antagonist that inhibits CYP2B6 and CYP2D6 with Ki of 0.51 nM and 94.9 μM, respectively.
In vitro activity:
Memantine activated AMPK A1 and AMPK A2 genes at mRNA level significantly (p=0.039 and p=0.0105) (Figure 2a, 2b(Fig. 2)). Memantine treatment decreased HIF1A, B-catenin and PKM protein expression levels (Figure 2c, 2d(Fig. 2)). All of these targets are involved in cancer cell metabolism related changes in oncogenic transformation of the cells. Reference: EXCLI J. 2021; 20: 223–231. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8192876/
In vivo activity:
To determine whether memantine improves spatial learning and memory, Morris water maze (MWM) test was conducted in control and memantine treated APP/PS1 mice. The trace records (Fig. 1A) showed that the swimming trajectory of APP/PS1 mice in the target quadrant was smaller than those of WT mice and memantine treated APP/PS1 mice. There was no significant difference in swimming speed among these three groups (Fig. 1B). And the escape latency in different test days of training was significant for these different treatment groups (Fig. 1C). The APP/PS1 mice took more time to find the target quadrant and decreased the number of platform crossings (Fig. 1D, E). Furthermore, both parameters could be significantly improved after memantine treatment in APP/PS1 mice (Fig. 1D, E, n = 8, one-way ANOVNs, P < 0.05). Taken together, these data suggested that memantine was effective in improving the spatial memory in APP/PS1 mice.
