| Bioactivity | Ro 25-6981 is a potent, selective and activity-dependent NR2B subunit specific NMDA receptor antagonist. Ro 25-6981 shows anticonvulsant and anti-parkinsonian activity. Ro 25-6981 has the potential for the research of parkinson's disease (PD)[1][2][3]. |
| In Vivo | Ro 25-6981 (0.39-12.5 mg/kg; i.p.) induces contraversive rotations in 6-hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA)-lesioned rats without stimulating locomotion in normal rats[1].Ro 25-6981 (1,3 mg/kg; i.p.) exhibits age- and activation-dependent anticonvulsant action at early postnatal development in rats[2].Ro 25-6981 (800 µg; intrathecal injection) shows significant analgesic effects on incision pain in rats and effectively attenuated postoperative hyperalgesia[3].
