High impact information on memantine

  • Moreover, NR1/NR3A or -3B receptors form relatively Ca2+-impermeable cation channels that are resistant to Mg2+, MK-801, memantine and competitive antagonists [12].
  • Behavioral pain responses to noxious mechanical stimulation were inhibited in a reversible, dose-dependent manner by intravenous administration of memantine, a noncompetitive antagonist of the NMDA receptor [13].
  • A set of arginine-rich hexapeptides selectively blocked the NMDA receptor channel with IC50 approximately 100 nM, a potency similar to clinically tolerated blockers such as memantine, and only marginally blocked on non-NMDA glutamate receptors [14].
  • In 2004 the FDA approved memantine, an NMDA antagonist, for treating dementia symptoms in moderate to severe AD cases [7].
  • This laboratory recently reported that memantine, an antiparkinsonian drug, is a potent N-methyl-D-aspartate antagonist capable of preventing the death of central neurons both in vitro and in vivo when given coincident to an EAA insult [15].

Gene context of memantine

  • The up-regulations observed after memantine (cortex, NR2B: 172+/-17%; hippocampus, NR1-1/1-2: 156+/-8%) or MK-801 (cortex, NR2B: 174+/-22%; hippocampus, NR1-1/1-2: 140+/-3%) were almost identical [36].
  • 3. Memantine (0.3-30 microM) blocked L-glutamate (100 microM)-mediated currents in a concentration-dependent manner in NR1a/NR2A, NR1a/NR2B and NR1a/NR2D transfected cells with IC50 values (at -70 mV) of 0.93 +/- 0.15 microM, 0.82 +/- 0.12 microM and 0.47 +/- 0.06 microM (mean +/- s.c. mean), respectively [37].
  • RESULTS: In HLM, memantine inhibited CYP2B6 and CYP2D6 activities, with KI (IC50) values of 76.7 (279.7) and 94.9 (368.7) microM, respectively [38].
  • Treatment with memantine, an NMDA receptor antagonist, also increased the serine-phosphorylation of both GSK3 isoforms in mouse brain [39].
  • Memantine blocked and could be trapped by recombinant NMDA receptors composed of NR1 and either NR2A or NR2B subunits [40].
