MK-801 powerfully protects against N-methyl aspartate neurotoxicity.

Abstract:

:Using the ex vivo chick embryo retina to study the efficacy of antagonists in blocking the excitotoxic effects of excitatory amino acid agonists, we previously identified phencyclidine as the most powerful known anti-excitotoxin. Here we show that MK-801 is 5 times more powerful than phencyclidine as an anti-excitotoxin, that its antagonism is specific for N-methyl-asparate toxicity, is non-competitive and does not entail inhibition of excitatory amino acid receptor binding.

  • Differential effects of methamphetamine and cocaine on behavior and extracellular levels of dopamine and 3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine in the nucleus accumbens of conscious rats.

    abstract::The central dopamine system plays a prominent role in the effect of psychostimulants such as methamphetamine, cocaine and nicotine. l-3,4-Dihydroxyphenylalanine (DOPA), a precursor of dopamine, has been proposed as a neurotransmitter in the central nervous system. We have studied the effects of these psychostimulants ...
