Abstract excerpt
The effects of benzyl-polyamines were studied at recombinant N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptors expressed in Xenopus laevis oocytes. A number of mono-, di- and tri-benzyl polyamines, having benzyl substitutions on the terminal or central amino groups, inhibited responses of NR1/NR2 receptors in oocytes voltage-clamped at -70 mV. Among the most potent compounds was N1,N4, N8-tri-benzyl-spermidine (TB-3-4),...
