Biological Activity
A potent, selective and non-competitive NMDA receptor antagonist. Acts by binding to a site located within the NMDA associated ion channel and thus prevents Ca2+ flux. An effective anti-ischemic agent in several animal models. Part of the Mixed NMDA Receptor Tocriset™. (-)-MK 801 maleate (Cat. No. 0955) also available.
Compound Libraries
(+)-MK 801 maleate is also offered as part of the
Tocriscreen Plus. Find out more about compound libraries available from Tocris.
