CNQX Cat #: C-140

Size: 25 mg Source: Synthetic MW: 232.2 Purity: >98%
Effective concentration
300 nM - 500 µM.
Activity
AMPA/kainate receptor antagonist. The concentrations that inhibit 50% of AMPA binding (IC50) for CNQX in dorsal horn neurons and motoneurons are 300 nM-1.3 µM. It was about one-fifth as effective at kainate binding sites1,2. The association of AMPA receptors with TARPs converts CNQX from an antagonist to a weak partial agonist. CNQX binds with high affinity to both high and low affinity AMPA binding sites in rat brain. CNQX is a potent antagonist in electrophysiological responses mediated by non-NMDA receptors. Effects at NMDA receptors are much weaker.
Storage before reconstitution
