(S)-(-)-HA 966_product_DataBase

Bioactivity

(S)-(-)-HA 966 ((-)-HA 966), a γ-Hydroxybutyrate-like agent, is weakly active as an NMDA-receptor antagonist. (S)-(-)-HA 966 possesses muscle relaxant action and prevents enhanced mesocorticolimbic dopamine metabolism and behavioral correlates of restraint stress, conditioned fear[1][2].

Invitro

On cultured cortical neurones (+)-HA-966 inhibits glycine-potentiated NMDA responses with an IC50=13 μM compared with (-)-HA-966 (IC50=708 μM)[2].

In Vivo

(S)-(-)-HA 966 ((-)-HA 966; 3 and 5 mg/kg; i.p.) prevents restraint stress-induced dopamine utilization in both the medial prefrontal cortex and nucleus accumbens. (S)-(-)-HA 966 suppresses fear-induced behaviors: immobility and defecation[1]. (S)-(-)-HA 966 (3 mg/kg; i.p.) prevents locomotor sensitization without altering the acute motoric response elicited by cocaine[1]. (S)-(-)-HA 966 (5 mg/kg; i.p.) blocks acute cocaine-induced locomotion but resulted in sedation[1].
