Biological Activity for Memantine hydrochloride

Memantine hydrochloride is an antagonist at the NMDA receptor (IC₅₀ = 0.5 -1.5 μM in vitro), binding to the ion channel site. Memantine increases BDNF protein and mRNA levels in the brain in vivo. In an animal model of Alzheimer's disease, memantine improves spatial learning and decreases deposition of Aβ plaques. Memantine has neuroprotective effects in dopaminergic neurons; stimulates release of neurotrophic factor from astroglia and reduces microglia inflammation in vitro.
