Bioactivity | NBQX disodium (FG9202 disodium) is a highly selective and competitive AMPA receptor antagonist. NBQX disodium has neuroprotective and anticonvulsant activity[1]. |
Target | AMPA receptor |
Invitro | NBQX disodium (FG9202 disodium) has a high affinity for AMPA and kainate binding sites with little or no affinity for the glutamate recognition site on the NMDA receptor complex[1]. |
In Vivo | NBQX disodium (FG9202; 20 mg/kg, i.p.; for 3 days) decreases seizures induced by PTZ[2]. NBQX disodium is neuroprotective in a focal ischaemia model in the rat when given as an i.v. bolus dose of 30 mg/kg at the time of MCA occlusion and again at 1 h post occlusion[1]. Animal Model: |
