PEAQX tetrasodium hydrate has been used N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor 2A (NR2A) antagonist in rats and mice.
Biochem/physiol Actions
NMDA receptor antagonist.
PEAQX is more specific for N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor 2A (NR2A) than N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor 2B (NR2B) and induces striatal apoptosis. It is less potent in activating caspase-3 than its stereomer NVP-AAM007.
