| Bioactivity | Ifenprodil (RC 61-91) is a noncompetitive NMDA receptor antagonist with anti-excitotoxic activity. Ifenprodil significantly improves long-term sensorimotor and spatial learning deficits in mice after acute subarachnoid hemorrhage. Ifenprodil reduces neuronal cell death in the basal cortex and CA1 region of the hippocampus induced by experimental subarachnoid hemorrhage. Ifenprodil attenuates Ca2+ overload in basal cortical cells and mitochondria, as well as brain edema in blood-brain barrier damage and early brain injury. Ifenprodil reduces the intracellular Ca2+ increase and apoptosis of primary cortical neurons under conditions of high glutamate concentrations. Ifenprodil also reduces the increase in endothelial permeability caused by high glutamate concentrations in human brain microvascular endothelial cells. Ifenprodil also inhibits GIRK channels and interacts with α1-adrenergic, 5-HT, and σ receptors[1]. |
