The GluN3 subunit regulates ion selectivity within native N-methyl-d-aspartate receptors
Glutamatergic N-methyl-d-aspartate receptors (NMDARs) are heterotetrameric proteins whose subunits are derived from three gene families, GRIN1 (codes for GluN1), GRIN2 (GluN2) and GRIN3 (GluN3).

Derivatives of methoxetamine and major methoxetamine metabolites potently block NMDA receptors
N-Methyl-D-aspartate receptors (NMDARs) in the brain are influenced by psychoactive drugs such as 2-(2-chlorophenyl)-2-(methylamino)cyclohexan-1-one (ketamine) and its analog 2-(ethylamino)-2-(3-methoxyphenyl)-cyclohexanone (methoxetamine).

A Comprehensive Review of the Ketamine Mechanism and Its Pleiotropic Effects [PDF]
Objective: In the world of anesthetics, ketamine is unique. Over thirty years ago, the substance was first used in therapeutic practice to act as a "mono-anesthetic," causing analgesia, forgetfulness, loss of consciousness, and immobility.

Targeting N-Methyl-d-Aspartate Receptors in Neurodegenerative Diseases
N-methyl-d-aspartate receptors (NMDARs) are the main class of ionotropic receptors for the excitatory neurotransmitter glutamate. They play a crucial role in the permeability of Ca2+ ions and excitatory neurotransmission in the brain. Being heteromeric receptors, they are composed of several subunits, including two obligatory GluN1 subunits (eight ...

Dual Action of Memantine in Alzheimer Disease: A Hypothesis
Objective: In this study, we proposed a hypothesis to explain the mechanisms of memantine action in treating Alzheimer disease (AD). Memantine may reduce the expression of amyloid precursor protein and tau protein, as well as acting as an antagonist of N-
