Description

AM-36 is a novel arylalkylpiperazine with combined antioxidant and Na(+) channel blocking actions. This compound was discovered as a four-year Amrad-funded program with the Departments of Pharmacology and Chemistry at Monash University. In preclinical studies was shown, that AM-36 might have great promise in the acute treatment of human stroke. But these investigation were discontinued.

In Vitro Use Guide
AM-36 inhibited batrachotoxinin (BTX)-sensitive Na+ channel binding in rat brain homogenates with an IC50 of 0.28 uM. Veratridine (100 uM)-induced neurotoxicity in murine cerebellar granule cells was completely inhibited by AM-36 (1.7 uM) compared to only partial inhibition by sipatrigine (26 uM). Veratridine-stimulated glutamate release, as measured through a microdialysis probe in the cortex of anesthetised rats, was inhibited by 90% by superfusion of AM-36 (1000 uM).
