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
Shipped at room temperature. Product as supplied can be stored intact at room temperature for several weeks. For longer periods, it should be stored at -20°C.
Reconstitution
DMSO. Centrifuge all product preparations before use (10000 x g for 5 min).
