Memantine hydrochloride_product_DataBase

Bioactivity	Memantine (hydrochloride) (D-145 (hydrochloride)) is a moderate affinity, uncompetitive NMDA receptor antagonist, inhibit CYP2B6 and CYP2D6 with Ki of 0.51 nM and 94.9 μM, respectively.
Target	NMDA Receptor.
Invitro	Memantine (hydrochloride) (D-145 (hydrochloride)) is a moderate-affinity, uncompetitive, voltage-dependent, NMDA-receptor antagonist with fast on/off kinetics that inhibits excessive calcium influx induced by chronic overstimulation of the NMDA receptor. Memantine is approved in the US and the EU for the treatment of patients with moderate to severe dementia of the Alzheimer's type[1]. Memantine has considerable therapeutic potential for the myriad of clinical entities associated with NMDA receptor-mediated neurotoxicity[2]. Memantine blocked 200 microM NMDA-evoked responses with a 50% inhibition constant (IC50) of approximately 1 microM at -60 mV and an empirical Hill coefficient of approximately 1[3].
