General description

Ifenprodil is a phenylethanolamine, which stimulates blood circulation. It has anticonvulsant and antinociceptive properties.[1] Ifenprodil is used to treat posttraumatic stress disorder,[2] cerebrovascular diseases and peripheral arterial obliterative disease.[1] It blocks G protein-coupled inwardly-rectifying potassium channels (GIRKs) and interacts with α1 adrenergic, N-methyl-D-aspartate and serotonin receptors.[1]

Application

Ifenprodil (+)-tartrate salt has been used:
  • to test the action in a KCl-induced cortical spreading depression (CSD) animal[3]
  • to study its effects on electrophysiological properties and spontaneous spikes in neocortical pyramidal cells[4]
  • to investigate its therapeutic effects[5]

Biochem/physiol Actions

NMDA antagonist acting at the polyamine site; neuroprotective agent; α-adrenergic central and peripheral vasodilator; α2 adrenergic receptor ligand.
