Product Data
Biological target:
Ro 25-6981 inhibited 3H-MK-801 binding to rat forebrain membranes in a biphasic manner with IC50 values of 0.003 microM and 149 microM for high- (about 60%) and low-affinity sites, respectively. NMDA receptor subtypes expressed in Xenopus oocytes were blocked with IC50 values of 0.009 microM and 52 microM for the subunit combinations NR1C & NR2B and NR1C & NR2A, respectively, which indicated a >5000-fold selectivity.
In vitro activity:
Ro 25-6981 is a highly selective, activity-dependent blocker of NMDA receptors that contain the NR2B subunit. Ro 25-6981 blocked NMDA receptor subtypes in an activity-dependent manner. Ro 25-6981 protected cultured cortical neurons against glutamate toxicity and combined oxygen and glucose deprivation with IC50 values of 0.4 microM and 0.04 microM, respectively. Reference: J Pharmacol Exp Ther. 1997 Dec;283(3):1285-92. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/9400004/
In vivo activity:
Ro 25-6981 was effective against PTZ-induced seizures in infantile rats, specifically suppressing the tonic phase of the generalized tonic-clonic seizures, but it failed in juveniles. Neither sensorimotor development nor cognitive abilities and emotionality were affected by early-life exposure to Ro 25-6981.
