Scientific background
N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptors, a family of L-glutamate receptors, play an important role in the central nervous system. Activation of NMDARs leads to cytosolic free intracellular calcium ([Ca2+]i) increase and for synaptic plasticity1.
Abnormal activity of NMDA receptors is associated different neurodegenerative disorders such as Alzheimer’s, Huntington’s, Parkinson’s disease and the etiology of epilepsy1.
IEM-1921, also known as 1-phenylcyclohexylamine, is a selective blocker of NMDA receptors. In chronic experiments on Wistar and Krushinskii–Molodkina rats it was found that IEM-1921 (5mg/kg) acts as anticonvulsant. IEM-1921 decreased the duration of convulsions by 82% and prevent neural abnormalities in the brain2-3.
