Description: Dizocilpine Maleate [formerly (+)-MK-801)], the maleate salt of (+)dizocilpine, is a non-competitive antagonist of NMDA (N-Methyl-D-aspartate) receptors with a Kd of 37.2 nM in rat brain membranes. (+)-MK-801 acts as a potent anti-convulsant and likely has dissociative anesthetic properties, but it is not used clinically for this purpose due to the discovery of brain lesions, called Olney's lesions in test rats.

In vitro activity: (-)-Huperzine A is a novel alkaloid isolated from the Chinese herb Huperzia serrata. (-)-Huperzine A preferentially inhibits tetrameric AChE (G4 form). (-)-Huperzine A is more potent than tacrine, physostigmine, galanthamine, and rivastigmine with respect to inhibition of AChE activity, whereas HupA is the least potent BuChE inhibitor among the inhibitors. (-)-Huperzine A possesses the ability to protect cells against hydrogen peroxide, β-amyloid protein, glutamate, ischemia and staurosporine-induced cytotoxicity and apoptosis. These protective effects are related to its ability to attenuate oxidative stress, regulate the expression of apoptotic proteins Bcl-2, Bax, P53, and caspase-3, protect mitochondria, upregulate nerve growth factor and its receptors, and interfere with amyloid precursor protein metabolism.
Cell Assay: izocilpine ((+)-MK 801) (< 500 μM) inhibits activation of microglia induced by LPS with increased Cox-2 protein expression in BV-2 cells. MK-801 (< 500 μM) reduces microglial TNF-α output with an EC50 of 400 μM in BV-2 cells.
