What is Dizocilpine?

Plain description, key identifiers and synonyms

Dizocilpine is an organic heterotetracyclic compound that is 1-methyl-8-azabicyclo[3.2.1]octane ortho-fused to two benzene rings at positions 2-3 and 6-7 (the 5S,10R-stereoisomer). It is a non-competitive antagonist of the N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor and affects cognitive function, learning, and memory. It has a role as an anticonvulsant, an anaesthetic, a nicotinic antagonist, a NMDA receptor antagonist and a neuroprotective agent. It is a tetracyclic antidepressant and a secondary amino compound. It is a conjugate base of a dizocilpine(1+).
