Submit Reviewthreo Ifenprodil hemitartrate
Description: GluN2B-selective NMDA antagonist; also σ agonist
Chemical Name: (1S*,2S*)-threo-2-(4-Benzylpiperidino)-1-(4-hydroxyphenyl)-1-propanol hemitartrate
Purity: ≥98% (HPLC)
Biological Activity for threo Ifenprodil hemitartrate
threo Ifenprodil hemitartrate is a potent σ receptor agonist (Ki values are 59.1 and 2 nM for σ1 and σ2 receptors respectively) and GluN2B (formally NR2B) subunit-selective NMDA receptor antagonist (IC50 values are 0.22 and 324.8 μM at GluN2B and GluN2A respectively). Displays ~8-fold reduced affinity at α-adrenoceptors compared to Ifenprodil (Cat.No. 0545). Inhibits the hERG potassium channel (IC50 = 88 nM) and exhibits antiarrhythmic activity in vivo.
Please refer to IUPHAR Guide to Pharmacology for the most recent naming conventions.
