Fast, Non-Competitive and Reversible Inhibition of NMDA-Activated Currents by 2-BFI Confers Neuroprotection
Excessive activation of the N-methyl-D-aspartic acid (NMDA) type glutamate receptors (NMDARs) causes excitotoxicity, a process important in stroke-induced neuronal death. Drugs that inhibit NMDA receptor-mediated [Ca2+]i influx are potential leads for development to treat excitotoxicity-induced brai...
