Description: NS-638 is a Ca(2+)-channel blocker. NS-638 dose dependently inhibited K(+)-stimulated [45Ca2+]-uptake in chick cortical synaptosomes and 2-amino-3-(3-hydroxy-5-methylisoxazol-4-yl)propionic acid (AMPA)-stimulated [3H]GABA-release from cultured cortical neurons with IC50 values of 2.3 and 4.3 microM, respectively. K(+)-stimulated intracellular Ca(2+)-elevation in cultured cerebellar granule cells was equipotently blocked with an IC50 value of 3.4 microM.

In vivo activity: In the mouse middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) model, NS-638 administered i.p. (50 mg kg-1) at 1 h and 6 h post-ischemia, and once a day for the next two days, resulted in a 48% reduction in total infarct volume.
