CNQX

Synonym(s):6-Cyano-7-nitroquinoxaline-2,3-dione;6-Cyano-7-nitroquinoxaline-2,3-dione disodium salt hydrate;6-Cyano-7-nitroquinoxaline-2,3-dione, 6-Cyano-2,3-dihydroxy-7-nitro-quinoxaline;CNQX - CAS 115066-14-3 - Calbiochem;FG-9065

CNQX Structural

What is CNQX?

Chemical properties

Pale Yellow Solid

The Uses of CNQX

A potent, competitive kainate/quisqualate (non-NMDA) receptor antagonist. IC50 of tritiated ligands to rat cortical membranes by CNQX: AMPA, Kainate and CPP are 0.3mM, 1.5mM, and 25mM, respectively

The Uses of CNQX

CNQX is a competitive, non-NMDA glutamate receptor antagonist (IC50s = 0.3 and 1.5 μM for AMPA and kainate receptors, respectively, versus IC50 = 25 μM for NMDA receptors). This compound has been used to specifically target AMPA and kainate receptor responses and thus differentiate from that of NMDA receptors.

The Uses of CNQX

CNQX disodium salt hydrate has been used as:

  • as a competitive non-NMDA receptor antagonist and competitive AMPA/kainate receptor antagonist in neuronal cultures(110)
  • as a glutamatergic blockers for measuring inhibitory postsynaptic currents in projection neurons(111)
  • as a AMPA glutamate receptor antagonist prefrontal cortex neurons(112)

Definition

ChEBI: 6-Cyano-7-nitroquinoxaline-2,3-dione is a quinoxaline derivative.

Biological Activity

Potent AMPA/kainate receptor antagonist. Also antagonist at glycine modulatory site on NMDA receptor complex.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Potent, competitive AMPA/kainate glutamate receptor antagonist.
