Chemical Name: 7-Chloro-3-methyl-3,4-dihydro-2H-1,2,4-benzothiadiazin
e S,S-dioxide
Biological Activity:
Inhibits AMPA receptor desensitisation and enhances cognition by a
related mechanism. More able to cross the blood-brain barrier than
cyclothiazide (Cat. No. 0713).
Displays 26-fold and > 440-fold selectivity over kainate and NMDA receptors respectively. Neuro-protective; delays neuronal death in a global ischaemia model and cerebral infarction in a focal ischaemia model.
