Fluoroethylnormemantine hydrochloride, a derivative of Memantine, is an antagonist of the N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor. [18F]-Fluoroethylnormemantine hydrochloride can be used as a positron emission tomography (PET) tracer. Fluoroethylnormemantine hydrochloride exhibits anti-amnesic, neuroprotective, antidepressant-like and fear-attenuating effects[1][2][3].
Fluoroethylnormemantine (0.1-10 mg/kg; a single i.p.) shows anti-amnesic effects on Aβ 25-35-induced learning impairments in mice[1].
Fluoroethylnormemantine (0.1-10 mg/kg; i.p. once daily for 7 days) attenuates Aβ 25-35-induced behavioral deficits, neuroinflammation, oxidative stress, apoptosis, and cell loss in mice[1].
Fluoroethylnormemantine (1-20 mg/kg; a single injection) decreases behavioral despair in the forced swim test (FST) and reduces fear behavior in the cued fear conditioning (FC) and extinction training in rats[2].
