Traxoprodil (CP101,606) is a potent and selective NMDA antagonist and protect hippocampal neurons with an IC50 of 10 nM.
CP-101,606 has been used as a N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA)?receptor antagonist to study its role in recovery of spinal cord injuries.
CP-101,606 (Traxoprodil) is a substituted 4-phenylpiperidine and is localized in the fore brain neurons.
Traxoprodil (CP-101,606) is a potent noncompetitive antagonist of N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptors, selective for the NR2B subunit. It has been shown to be neuroprotective in animal models of brain injury and stroke.
