Selective blockade of N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor function by the nitric oxide donor, nitroprusside.

Abstract:

:The N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor-mediated component of the synaptic response of cerebellar granule cells to mossy fibre stimulation was selectively inhibited by the nitric oxide (NO) donor, nitroprusside (nitroferricyanide). The direct depolarisation of granule cells induced by perfusion of NMDA was similarly reduced. However, these effects are unlikely to be caused by NO because, inter alia, they could not be replicated by other NO donors whereas ferricyanide was similarly effective.

  • Motor depressant effects of systemically administered polyamines in mice: involvement of central NMDA receptors.

    abstract::The systemic administration of polyamines (s.c.) produced a dose-dependent motor depression. With high doses the depressant effect was long-lasting and the animals showed signs of toxicity. ED50 values for spermine, spermidine and putrescine were 38, 90 and 251 mg/kg respectively. The motor depression induced by the s...
