- Alomone Labs L-701,324 inhibits NMDA (NR1+NR2A) receptors expressed in Xenopus oocytes.A. Representative time course of NR1/NR2A currents, elicited by transient stimulations with 2
µM glutamate + 10 µM glycine every 50 sec, while membrane potential was held at -80 mV, and significantly inhibited by 5 nM L-701,324 (#L-195).

Glutamate is a central excitatory neurotransmitter in the nervous system and his mediating signaling is important for basic neuron-to-neuron signaling and neuronal processes such as learning, memory and pain perception. N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor are the major subtype of glutamate receptors that participate in synaptic transmission. NMDA receptor consists of three different subunits termed GluN1-3. Activation of NMDA receptor carried out via interaction with glycine and glutamate1.
L-701,324 (7-chloro-4-hydroxy-3(3-phenoxy) phenylquinoline-2-(H)-on) is an effective NMDA antagonist that antagonizes the activity of the NMDA receptor by blocking its glycine binding site. It was found that L-701,324 when administered orally has an inhibitory effect on spreading depression (SD) initiations and propagation2. Moreover L-701,324 act as anticonvulsant and neuroprotective agent3. Recently it was shown that antidepressant effect of L-701,324 in mice IS mediated by elevating the hippocampal BDNF signaling cascade4.
L-701,324 (#L-195) is a highly pure, synthetic and biologically active compound.
