LY 404187

Key Product Details

Product Description

LY 404187 is a selective AMPA receptor positive allosteric modulator (IC₅₀ values are 0.15, 0.21, 1.66 and 5.65 μM for GluA2_i, GluA4_i, GluA3_i and GluA1_i respectively). Potentiates glutamate and AMPA-evoked currents in prefrontal cortex (PFC) pyramidal neurons in vitro. Has no effect on NMDA- or kainate-evoked currents; also has no effect on K⁺ or Na⁺ ion channels. Potentiates PFC glutamatergic synaptic transmission in vitro and in vivo. Induces neurite growth in combination with (S)-AMPA (Cat. No. 0254) in SH-SY5Y human neuroblastoma cells in vitro. Also reduces MPTP-induced toxicity in mice. Brain penetrant.
