SDZ 220-581 Ammonium salt

SDZ 220-581 ammonium salt is a potent, competitive antagonist at the NMDA glutamate receptor subtype(pKi= 7.7). IC50 Value: Target: NMDA receptorin vitro: Wake-promoting doses of LSN2463359 and LSN2814617 attenuated deficits in performance induced by the competitiveNMDA receptor antagonist SDZ 220,581 in two tests of operant behaviour: the variable interval 30 s task and the DMTP task [1].in vivo: Administration of SDZ 220-581 or CGS 19755 was associated with a robust reduction in PPI, whereas L-701,324, 4-Cl-KYN or MLA failed to alter PPI [2]. With the most active agent, SDZ 220-581, full protection against maximal electroshock seizures (MES) was obtained at oral doses of 10 mg/kg in rats and in mice. The compound had a fast onset ( or = 24 hr) of action [3]. Rats were pretreated with clozapine (0 or 5.0 mg/kg) or haloperidol (0 or 0.1 mg/kg), together with SDZ 220-581 (0 or 2.5 mg/kg), and tested. SDZ 220-581 and SDZ EAB-515 decreased PPI without affecting startle magnitude [4].
