A Potent and Selective Antagonist of NMDA Receptors

Centrifuge the vial before adding solvent (10, 000 x g for 5 minutes) to spin down all the powder to the bottom of the vial. The lyophilized product may be difficult to visualize. Add solvent directly to the centrifuged vial. Tap the vial to aid in dissolving the lyophilized product. Tilt and gently roll the liquid over the walls of the vial. Avoid vigorous vortexing. Light vortexing for up to 3 seconds is acceptable if needed. For long-term storage in solution, we recommend preparing a stock solution by dissolving the product in sterile water at a concentration of at least 0.1 mg/mL. Divide the stock solution into small aliquots and store at -20°C. Before use, thaw the relevant vial(s) and dilute to the desired working concentration in your working buffer. It is recommended to prepare fresh solutions in working buffers just before use. For long-term storage of diluted solutions, we recommend adding 0.1% BSA. Repeat freeze-thawing may result in loss of activity.

CGP-37849 is a synthetic compound that acts as a potent, selective, and competitive antagonist of N-methyl-d-aspartate (NMDA) receptors. CGP 37849 shows significant central effects following oral administration to animals. CGP-37849 is used to elucidate the roles of NMDA receptors in brain function, and as therapeutic agents for the treatment of neurological disorders such as epilepsy and ischemic brain damage in humans1.NMDA receptors are heterotetrameric channels formed by the assembly of two obligatory GluN1 and two GluN2/GluN3 subunits. They play important roles in a variety of cellular processes and brain functions such as synaptic plasticity, addiction, and stroke. NMDA receptors mediate physiological functions such as learning and memory formation and participate in glutamate excitotoxicity2.
