Biological Activity for NBQX disodium salt
NBQX disodium salt is a selective and competitive AMPA and kainate receptor antagonist (IC50 = 0.15 μM and 4.8 μM, respectively). NBQX blocks the antidepressant effects of 8-Hydroxy-DPAT hydrobromide (Cat. No. 0529), decreases mTOR and BDNF levels. NBQX is neuroprotective, anticonvulsant, antinociceptive and active in vivo.
NBQX disodium salt is a more water-soluble form of NBQX (Cat. No. 0373).

Suppression of AMPA receptors.

Assay Type: Ex Vivo
Species: Mouse
Cell Line/Tissue: Cerebellum
NBQX disodium salt was used as a control to demonstrate pharmacological isolation of AMPAR-generated whole-cell electrophysiological response. Top trace: response to rapidly applied AMPA. Bottom trace: response to AMPA+NBQX.
Needs sonication for dilution
The best option to block AMPA receptors.
By
Luiz Alexandre Magno on 06/20/2018
Assay Type: In Vivo
Species: Mouse
I infused the NBQX disodium salt (22 mM) into mouse brain to block AMPA receptors in the striatum. This was done by using an internal infusion cannula. The disodium salt is the best choice for this kind of experiment because it is soluble in aqueous solutions such as NaCl 0.9%. NBQX is more specific and potent than DNQX.
Always make fresh solutions
Excellent AMPA receptor antagonist.
