How to use
In Vitro:
NBQX is highly selective in vitro. The IC50 value for inhibition of AMPA-evoked inward currents is 0.4 μM for NBQX. While NBQX inhibits NMDA-induced currents with IC50 value of 60 μM.
In Vivo:
Rats are intraperitoneally (i.p.) injected with pentylenetetrazole (PTZ, 50 mg/kg) for 28 consecutive days to establish chronic epilepsy models. Subsequently, NBQX (20 mg/kg, i.p.) is injected for 3 days for the observation of behavioral measurements of epilepsy. NBQX treatment normalizes perineuronal nets (PNNs), tenascin-R, aggrecan and neurocan levels. NBQX is sufficient to decrease seizures through increasing the latency to seizures, decrease the duration of seizure onset, and reduce the scores for the severity of seizures.
