| Bioactivity | (-)-Dizocilpine maleate ((-)-MK-801 maleate) is a less active (-)-enantiomer of Dizocilpine. (-)-Dizocilpine maleate is a selective and non-competitive N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor antagonist with a Ki of 211.7 nM. (-)-Dizocilpine maleate has antidepressant effects[1][2]. |
| Target | Ki: 211.7 nM (N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor) |
| Invitro | (-)-Dizocilpine maleate ((-)-MK-801 maleate) significantly inhibited the uptake of all three (norepinephrine, dopamine and serotonin) monoamine transporters in a dose-dependent manner in HEK cells. The Ki values of (-)-Dizocilpine on the norepinephrine, dopamine and serotonin transporters are 3.7 μM, 40 μM and 47 μM, respectively[2]. |
| In Vivo | (-)-Dizocilpine maleate (0.1 mg/kg; intraperitoneal injection; male adult C57BL/6 mice) treatment induces rapid antidepressant effects in the social defeat stress model[1]. Animal Model: |
