Bioactivity | (Rac)-Lanicemine ((Rac)-AZD6765) is the racemate of Lanicemine. Lanicemine (AZD6765) is a low-trapping NMDA channel blocker (Ki of 0.56-2.1 μM for NMDA receptor; IC50s of 4-7 μM and 6.4 μM in CHO and Xenopus oocyte cells, respectively). Antidepressant effects[1]. | ||||||||||||
Target | NMDA receptor | ||||||||||||
In Vivo | Lanicemine produces sustained antidepressant efficacy with minimal psychotomimetic adverse effects[1].Lanicemine (3, 10 or 30 mg/kg; intraperitoneal) not only engages brain circuits involved in the generation of gamma- electroencephalography (EEG), but also influences these networks independent of the broader systems-level disruptions typical of ketamine[1].
