Description:

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

Dizocilpine, also known as MK-801 or (+)-MK-801, is an uncompetitive antagonist of the N-Methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor. Dizocilpine blocks NMDA receptors in a use- and voltage-dependent manner, since the channel must open for the drug to bind inside it. The drug acts as a potent anti-convulsant and likely has dissociative anesthetic properties, but it is not used clinically for this purpose due to the discovery of brain lesions, called Olney's lesions (see below), in test rats. Dizocilpine is the most frequently used non-competitive NMDA receptor antagonist in animal models to mimic psychosis for experimental purposes.

Product Data
Biological target:
Dizocilpine maleate (MK-801 maleate) is a potent, selective and non-competitive NMDA receptor antagonist with Kd of 37.2 nM in rat brain membranes.
In vitro activity:
These findings suggested that MK-801 administration decreased cell survival probably via the increasing GSK-3β gene expression and activity in the SH-SY5Y cells. Pre-treatments with famotidine, olanzapine, and SB 415286 prevented MK-801 induced cell death via inhibitory effects on the MK-801 induced GSK-3β activity. Reference: Chem Biol Interact. 2019 Dec 1;314:108823. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31563592/
In vivo activity:
Open field test aimed to explore the effect of SZASD on locomotor activity in MK801-induced schizophrenia-like rats. The representative movement traces of rats in six groups are shown in Fig. 2. The results showed that MK801 has significantly increased the total distance (F = 8.738, p < 0.001) and average speed (F = 9.533, p < 0.001) of rats compared with the control group (Fig. 2B,C). Furthermore, this study investigated the anxious behavior of rats by recording the time spent in the central area (F = 2.878). MK801 remarkably reduced the time spent in the central area of rats compared with the control (p < 0.05).
