NFI23
NFI23 is a blood-brain barrier-penetrant GluN2B-NMDAR inhibitor, with an IC50 of 1.31 μM and a Ki of 5.98 nM against GluN2B-NMDAR. NFI23 reduces NMDA-induced Ca2+ influx and ROS production, maintains mitochondrial membrane potential, inhibits neuronal apoptosis, and restores the expression of p-ERK1/2. NFI23 exerts neuroprotective effects against NMDA-induced cytotoxicity and in the rat middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) model. NFI23 can be used for the research of ischemic stroke.

Biological Activity
NFI23 (0.05-5 μM; 6 h pretreatment) potently protects PC12 cells from NMDA-induced cytotoxicity, with cell viability reaching 81.2% at 0.05 μM, 86.1% at 0.5 μM, and 90.2% at 5 μM[1].
NFI23 (5 μM; 6 h pretreatment) inhibits NMDA-induced excessive calcium influx in PC12 cells[1].
NFI23 can inhibit NMDA-induced excessive production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in PC12 cells; maintain mitochondrial membrane potential and antagonize NMDA-induced mitochondrial dysfunction in PC12 cells; and significantly inhibit NMDA-induced apoptosis in PC12 cells[1].
NFI23 (0.05-5 μM; 6 h pretreatment) restores p-ERK1/2 expression in a concentration-dependent manner in NMDA-treated PC12 cells[1].
NFI23 has high binding affinity for GluN2B-NMDAR, with a Ki of 5.98 nM[1].
NFI23 is highly selective for GluN2B-NMDAR over σ1 (≥1600-fold selectivity) and σ2 (~40-fold selectivity) receptors[1].
NFI23 (0.1-30 μM; 10-15 s per concentration) potently inhibits GluN1/GluN2B receptor-mediated currents with an IC50 of 1.31 μM, and shows high selectivity over GluN1/GluN2A, GluN1/GluN2C, and GluN1/GluN2D receptors[1].
