Figure 1. Memantine inhibition of evoked NMDAR mediated EPSCs in rat CA1 pyramidal neuron

The voltage sensitive NMDA receptor antagonist memantine is effective at concentrations of 10-100 µM. In CA1 hippocampal neurons held at -30 mV, memantine from Hello Bio (at 100 µM) gradually inhibited evoked NMDA receptor mediated excitatory currents over time. For assay protocol, see #Protocol 1 in Application Notes below.

Biological Data

Biological description

Non-competitive NMDA receptor antagonist (IC50 = 1.25 μM). Binds to ion channel site.

Shows low affinity but has rapid blocking and unblocking ability at the NMDAR.

Selectively blocks extrasynaptic NMDARs.

Enhances hippocampal long-term potentiation (LTP) and reverses LTP suppression.

Improves cognitive function and shows anti-Alzheimer's activity.

Application notes

The voltage sensitive NMDA receptor antagonist memantine is effective at concentrations of 10-100 µM. In CA1 hippocampal neurons held at – 30 Mv, Hello Bio memantine (at 100 µM) gradually inhibited evoked NMDA receptor mediated excitatory currents over time (see Fig 1 above).

 

#Protocol 1: Assay evoked NMDAR currents at -30 mV (used for memantine)

  • NMDAR currents were recorded via whole cell voltage clamp recordings of CA1 pyramidal neurons from the rat hippocampal brain slice and evoked via a stimulating electrode placed in the CA3 region to stimulate the Schaffer collateral pathway.
  • Each NMDAR current was evoked via a single square (150 µs) pulse every 10 sec at a stimulus intensity that gave a reliable NMDAR current.
  • Neurons were constantly held at -30 mV and NMDAR currents recorded in response to continual bath applications of NMDAR antagonists.
  • All NMDAR recordings were made in the presence of GABAA-R and AMPA-R antagonists.
