Chronic hypoxia modulates NMDA-mediated regulation of the hypoxic ventilatory response in an amphibian, Bufo marinus.
    Respiratory physiology & neurobiology, 2006, Volume: 153, Issue:1

    This study examined whether a hypoxia-tolerant amphibian, the Cane toad, undergoes mammalian-like ventilatory acclimatisation to hypoxia (VAH) and whether chronic hypoxia (CH) alters NMDA-mediated regulation of the acute hypoxic ventilatory response (HVR). Toads were exposed to 10 days of CH (10% O2) followed by acute hypoxic breathing trials or an intra-arterial injection of NaCN. Trials were conducted before and after i.p. treatment with an NMDA-receptor channel blocker (MK801). CH blunted the acute HVR but did not alter resting breathing. MK801 did not alter resting ventilation. In control animals, MK801 augmented breathing frequency (fR) during acute hypoxia by increasing the number of breaths per episode. This effect was attenuated following CH although MK801 did enhance the number of episodes per minute during acute hypoxia. MK801 enhanced the fR response to NaCN in both groups. The results indicate that CH did not produce mammalian-like VAH (i.e. increased resting ventilation and an augmented acute HVR) but did alter MK801-sensitive regulation of breathing pattern and the acute HVR.

The neuroprotective properties of ifenprodil, a novel NMDA receptor antagonist, in neuronal cell culture toxicity studies.
    European journal of pharmacology, 1992, Aug-03, Volume: 226, Issue:4

    We investigated the effect of ifenprodil on excitotoxic cell death induced by acute exposure to glutamate receptor agonists in primary cultures of foetal mouse cerebral cortex. L-Glutamate and N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) but not kainate and quisqualate-induced toxicity was attenuated in the presence of ifenprodil. In addition, ifenprodil and MK-801 blocked NaCN-induced toxicity. It is concluded that the cerebro-protective properties of ifenprodil in these models are mediated by NMDA receptor antagonism.
