NBQX (2,3-dihydroxy-6-nitro-7-sulfamoyl-benzo [ f ] quinoxaline-2,3-dione) is a potent, selective and competitive AMPA - antagonist developed by the Danish pharmaceutical company Ferrosan 1990th
NBQX blocks AMPA and kainate receptors in a concentration of typically 10–20 µM. It is used to counteract glutamate and to block AMPA synaptic connections. NBQX has neuroprotective and anticonvulsant effects in the rodent model and has potential applications against multiple sclerosis . As a disodium salt, NBQX is very soluble in water.
In high doses of 60 mg / kg body weight in a rodent model, NBQX can trigger ataxias , similar to those that occur during acute alcohol intoxication . It also causes kidney damage. Even at lower doses of 30 mg / kg, NBQX interferes with the learning process and the motor system. These effects, along with difficulties in transporting NBQX as an active ingredient into the nervous system, make it unattractive as a pharmaceutical.
