[3H]Dizocilpine maleate binds with NMDA receptor with a Kd of 37.2±2.7 nM in rat cerebral cortical membranes[1].
Dizocilpine maleate causes a progressive, long-lasting blockade of current induced by N-Me-D-Asp[3].
Dizocilpine maleate progressively suppresses of current induced by NMDA. Mg2+ (10 mM) prevents Dizocilpine from blocking the N-Me-D-Asp-induced current, even when Dizocilpine (MK-801) is applied for a long time in the presence of NMDA. Dizocilpine blocks NMDA-activated single-channel activity in outside-out patches[3].
Dizocilpine maleate (< 500 μM) inhibits activation of microglia induced by LPS with increased Cox-2 protein expression in BV-2 cells. Dizocilpine (MK-801; <500 μM) reduces microglial TNF-α output with an EC50 of 400 μM in BV-2 cells[4].
MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.
Please do not refer to only one article to determine the experimental conditions. It is recommended to determine the optimal experimental conditions (animal strain, age, dosage, frequency and cycle, detection time and indicators, etc.) through preliminary experiments before the formal experiment.
Dizocilpine maleate can be used to induce schizophrenia models. In SD rats, when administered intraperitoneally at a dose of 0.2 mg/kg, Dizocilpine maleate has a half-life of 52.31 minutes, an area under the curve (AUC) of 3185.48 nM·min, and a clearance rate of 34 mL/min/kg[2].
Administration: 0.4 mg/kg • i.p. • single dose.
Prepulse Inhibition (PPI): Decreased PPI significantly.
maze test:Avoided open arm entries in elevated plus maze test and reduced number of novel arm entries in Y maze test.

1. Take μL DMSO stock solution;
2. Add μL .
μL , mix evenly;
3. Then add μL Tween 80, mix evenly;
4. Then add μL
Please ensure that the stock solution in the first step is dissolved to a clear state, and add co-solvents in sequence. You can use ultrasonic heating (ultrasonic cleaner, recommended frequency 20-40 kHz), vortexing, etc. to assist dissolution.
Protocol
Animals are given saline or Dizocilpine ((+)-MK 801) followed by cocaine 30 min later in the home cage instead of in the CPP apparatus for the two days of “reactivation.” This is done to determine whether reactivation of the memory for the cocaine-associated context by cocaine in the CPP context is necessary for the ability of Dizocilpine ((+)-MK 801) to disrupt reconsolidation. Animals undergo preconditioning, conditioning, testing, and extinction but animals are injected with saline or Dizocilpine ((+)-MK 801) (0.20 mg/kg, i.p.) 30 min prior to a cocaine injection (10 mg/kg, i.p.) in the home cage. Animals remain in the home cages, and the next day, the procedure from the first day of reactivation is repeated. The following day, animals are tested for cocaine-primed reinstatement in their CPP box without any prior microinjection of saline or Dizocilpine ((+)-MK 801).
