Sample Use Guides

In Vitro Use Guide
In cultured dissociated mesencephalic cells of the fetal rat, chlorisondamine inhibited [3H]-dopamine release evoked by N-methyl-D-aspartate (10^-4 M), but only at high concentrations (IC50 approx. 600 microM). A high concentration of chlorisondamine (10^-3 M) had no effect on responses to quisqualate (10^-5 M) and only slightly reduced responses to kainate (10^-4 M). In adult rat hippocampal slices, chlorisondamine depressed NMDA receptor-mediated synaptically-evoked field potentials, but again only at high concentrations (10^-4-10^-3 M). Synaptic responses that were mediated by non-NMDA excitatory amino acid receptors were less affected.
