TCN 201 is a potent, selective and non-competitive antagonist of GluN1/GluN2A NMDA receptor, with a pIC50 of 6.8. TCN 201 is selective for GluN1/GluN2A NMDA receptor over GluN1/GluN2B NMDA receptor (pIC50<4.3)[1][2].
TCN 201 (compound 1) is selective for GluN1/GluN2A NMDAR over GluN1/GluN2B NMDAR, with pIC50s of 6.8 and <4.3, respectively[1]. TCN 201 (10 μM) produces only slight inhibition of GluN1/GluN2B NMDAR-mediated currents in oocytes[2]. TCN 201 (10-30 μM) antagonism of NMDAR-mediated responses is both subtype- and glycine-dependent and more potent than TCN 213 in oocytes[2]. TCN 201 (0.1-100 μM) does not produce complete block of NMDAR-mediated responses in oocytes[2]. TCN 201 (10 μM) antagonism of NMDAR-mediated currents shows a negative correlation with their ifenprodil sensitivity in rat cortical neurons[2]. TCN 201 (1-9 μM) suppresses cortical spreading depression (CSD) in chick retina[3].
TCN-201 (10 mg/kg; i.p.) is ineffective in CSD blood-oxygen level-dependent (BOLD) response in rats[4].
