Aptiganel (CNS 1102, Cerestat), a selective ligand with antagonized properties for the ion-channel site of the N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor-channel complex, was developed as a neuroprotective agent for focal brain ischemia. However, in the clinical trials in patients with acute ischemic stroke aptiganel was not efficacious at either of the tested doses and may be harmful. That is why its further study was discontinued.

Sample Use Guides

In Vivo Use Guide

Short intravenous infusions of up to 30 microg/kg have been well tolerated by healthy male volunteers. There were undertook a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study in 20 male volunteers to examine the safety, tolerability, and cardiovascular and psychomotor effects of a dosing paradigm similar to that envisaged for therapeutic use. Aptiganel HCl was infused over 4 h in total doses of 15, 32, 50, or 73 microg kg.

Route of Administration: Intravenous

In Vitro Use Guide

N-1-naphthyl-N'-(3-ethylphenyl)-N'-methylguanidine (aptiganel) showed high affinity for the NMDA receptor ion channel site (IC50 = 36 nM vs [3H]-3) and low affinity for sigma receptors (IC50 = 2540 nM vs [3H]-5)
