Discontinued Product
Remacemide hydrochloride (Cat. No. 1622) has been withdrawn from sale for commercial reasons.
Description: NMDA antagonist; blocks ion channel and allosteric modulatory site
Alternative Names: FPL 12924AA
Chemical Name: 2-Amino-N-(1-methyl-1,2-diphenylethyl)acetamide hydrochloride
Purity: ≥99% (HPLC)
Biological Activity for Remacemide hydrochloride
Remacemide hydrochloride is an non-competitive NMDA receptor antagonist; blocks ion channel and allosteric modulatory site (IC50 = 8 - 68 mM). Remacemide hydrochloride is anticonvulsant in vivo and metabolizes to a more potent desglycine analog. Weakly blocks voltage-dependent Na+ channels (IC50 = 161 mM). In an animal model of Huntington's disease, extends survival and delays disease; this effect is more pronounced when combined with Coenzyme Q10 (Cat. No. 3003)

Alzheimer's Disease PosterNew
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a debilitating and progressive neurodegenerative disease and the most common cause of dementia, affecting approximately 30% of individuals aged over 85 years. This poster summarizes the cellular and molecular mechanisms of AD.
Depression Poster
Major depressive disorder is characterized by depressed mood and a loss of interest and/or pleasure. Updated in 2015 this poster highlights presynaptic and postsynaptic targets for the potential treatment of major depressive disorder, as well as outlining the pharmacology of currently approved antidepressant drugs.
Huntington's Disease Poster
Huntington's disease (HD) is a severe monogenic neurodegenerative disorder, which is characterized by the prevalent loss of GABAergic medium spiny neurons (MSN) in the striatum. This poster summarizes the effects of mutant huntingtin aggregation implicated in the pathology of HD, as well as highlighting the use of iPSCs for HD modeling.
Learning & Memory Poster
Recognition memory enables us to make judgements about whether or not we have encountered a particular stimulus before. This poster outlines the cellular mechanisms underlying recognition memory and its links to long-term depression, as well as the use of pharmacological intervention to assess the role of neurotransmitters in recognition memory.
Parkinson's Disease Poster
Parkinson's disease (PD) causes chronic disability and is the second most common neurodegenerative condition. This poster outlines the neurobiology of the disease, as well as highlighting current therapeutic treatments for symptomatic PD, and emerging therapeutic strategies to delay PD onset and progression.
