Disease relevance of CNQX

 

Psychiatry related information on CNQX

  • Additional control experiments indicated that attenuation of cue-induced reinstatement by CNQX, NBQX, L-701,324, and MPEP was not accompanied by significant suppression of spontaneous locomotor activity [6].
  • Intense feeding responses associated with an increased duration of feeding behavior were consistently recorded after injections of MK-801 or CNQX into the medial two-thirds of the tuberculum olfactorium (TO), the ventral aspect of lobus parolfactorium (LPOv), or the ventral pallidum (VP) [7].
  • In the present study, the effects of local injections of MK-801 (6 nmol), CNQX (160 nmol) or vehicle (0.2 microl) into a number of ventral striatopallidal nuclei on feeding, drinking and non-ingestive (sleep, preening) spontaneous behaviors were investigated in free-feeding pigeons (Columba livia) [7].
  • We have previously demonstrated that the posttraining infusion of 6-cyano-7-nitroquinoxaline-2,3-dione, an alpha-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methylisoxazole-4-propionic acid (AMPA) receptor blocker, into the dorsal hippocampus of rats, causes retrograde amnesia of an inhibitory avoidance training [8].
  • In a lethality test, intracerebroventricular (i.c.v.) pretreatment of MK-801 (1 microg), but not CNQX (0.5 microg), attenuated the time to lethality induced by KA (0.5 microg) administered i.c.v. In the memory test (a passive avoidance test), MK-801, but not CNQX, prevented the memory loss induced by KA (0.1 microg) [9].
 

High impact information on CNQX

  • AMPA receptor antagonists (CNQX) blocked targeting of Arc mRNA in a small region, and mGluR antagonists (MCPG) did not affect localization [10].
  • The down-regulation of GABAergic inhibition was not affected by antagonism of metabotropic receptors, while it was attenuated by CNQX [11].
  • This neurotoxicity was blocked by CNQX, an antagonist to the alpha-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazole propionic acid (AMPA)/kainate receptor but not by two N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) antagonists [12].
  • We show that neither reactive sprouting nor functional recovery of synaptic transmission occur in the presence of the non-N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor antagonist 6-nitro-7-sulfamoylbenzoquinoxaline-2,3-dione (CNQX) [13].
  • Blockade of transmission of visceral nociceptive signals through the rat sacral cord by microdialysis administration of morphine or 6-cyano-7-nitroquinoxaline-2,3-dione shows that postsynaptic DC neurons in the sacral cord transmit visceral nociceptive signals to the gracile nucleus [14].

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of CNQX

  • In 23 of 49 (47%) of the above cells, AMPA antagonist iontophoresis (either CNQX or DNQX) selectively decreased the excitatory response to thalamic stimulation [39].
  • Excitatory synaptic mechanisms associated with burst suppression activity were probed using glutamate receptor antagonists (CNQX and APV), GABA receptor antagonists, and simultaneous whole cell patch clamp and microelectrode EEG recordings [40].
  • Local perfusion of an alpha-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methylisoxazole-4-propionate (AMPA)/kainate receptor antagonist, 6-cyano-7-nitroquinoxaline-2,3-dione, blocked the stress-induced increase in dopamine levels, whereas an NMDA receptor antagonist, 2-amino-5-phosphonopentanoic acid, at the dose tested, was not able to alter this response significantly [41].
  • These behavioral responses could be significantly blocked by intrathecal injection of the NMDA receptor antagonists MK-801 and AP-5, the non-NMDA receptor antagonist CNQX or the nitric oxide synthase inhibitor L-NAME [42].
  • AMPA also elicited Ca2+ elevations that were inhibited by 6-cyano-7-nitroquinoxaline-2,3-dione (CNQX) and occurred after treatment with omega-conotoxin MVIIC to block neurotransmitter release [43].
