Dizocilpine maleate is used to interact at the NMDA-associated ion channel, preventing Ca2+ flux and blocking NMDA-induced depolarizations. (+)-MK 801 demonstrates potent neuroprotective effects against excitotoxic insult, showing substantial protection against neuron loss produced by NMDA and quinolinic acid introduction.
This Thermo Scientific Chemicals brand product was originally part of the Alfa Aesar product portfolio. Some documentation and label information may refer to the legacy brand. The original Alfa Aesar product / item code or SKU reference has not changed as a part of the brand transition to Thermo Scientific Chemicals.
