How CNS-5161 works
CNS 5161 is a selective and high affinity N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor antagonist with preferential binding to the activated form of the receptor. CNS 5161 also penetrates the brain well and can be used to label selectively brain NMDA receptors in vivo. A radioactive form of CNS 5161 may be used as an agent to monitor NMDA receptors in the human brain using Positron Emission Tomography ("PET") and "the significance of a selective, validated radiopharmaceutical agent suitable for detecting widespread as well as highly localized changes in the NMDA receptor in the living brain cannot be exaggerated".
