Background: The N‐methyl‐D‐aspartate (NMDA) subtype of glutamate receptor is blocked by ketamine, and this action likely contributes to ketamine's anesthetic and analgesic properties. Previous studies suggest that ketamine occludes the open channel by binding to a site located within the channel pore. This hypothesis was examined by investigating the effects of ketamine on single‐channel currents from NMDA receptors. Methods: The cell‐attached and outside‐out configurations of the patch clamp…

Hydroxynorketamine Blocks N-Methyl-d-Aspartate Receptor Currents by Binding to Closed Receptors
TLDR
A systematic investigation of the effects of HNK on macroscopic responses elicited from recombinant NMDA receptors expressed in human embryonic kidney 293 cells revealed unexpected properties of hydroxynorketamine that warrant its further investigation as a possible therapeutic in pathologies associated with NMDA receptor dysfunction.
Does Anesthetic Additivity Imply a Similar Molecular Mechanism of Anesthetic Action at N-Methyl-D-Aspartate Receptors?
TLDR
Binary drug combinations containing ½ EC50 were additive if NMDA current inhibition was not statistically different from 50% and NMDA receptor inhibition by CO2 and isoflurane is additive.
Ketamine Action in the In Vitro Cortical Slice Is Mitigated by Potassium Channel Blockade
TLDR
Mechanisms additional to hyperpolarization-activated cyclic nucleotide-gated channel block are likely to explain the anesthetic action of ketamine and suggest facilitatory action at two-pore potassium leak channels.
Effect of thiopental sodium on N-methyl-D-aspartate-gated currents
TLDR
Thiopental sodium decreases NMDA-gated currents in acutely dissociated rat prefrontal cortical pyramidal neurons in a concentration-dependent manner.
Indistinguishable Synaptic Pharmacodynamics of the N-Methyl-d-Aspartate Receptor Channel Blockers Memantine and Ketamine
TLDR
Despite indistinguishable synaptic pharmacodynamics, ketamine provided significantly greater neuroprotection from damage induced by oxygen glucose deprivation, consistent with the idea that under extreme depolarizing conditions, the biophysical difference between drugs becomes detectable.
N-Methyl-d-aspartic Acid (NMDA) Receptor Is Involved in the Inhibitory Effect of Ketamine on Human Sperm Functions
TLDR
The results suggest that the NMDA receptor is probably involved in the inhibitory effect of ketamine on human sperm functions.
Ketamine Increases the Function of &ggr;-Aminobutyric Acid Type A Receptors in Hippocampal and Cortical Neurons
TLDR
Clinically relevant concentrations of ketamine increased the activity of high-affinity extrasynaptic GABAA receptors in the hippocampus and cortex, an effect that likely contributes to ketamine’s neurodepressive properties.
The novel NMDA receptor antagonist, 2‐hydroxy‐5‐(2,3,5,6‐tetrafluoro‐4‐trifluoromethyl‐benzylamino)‐benzoic acid, is a gating modifier in cultured mouse cortical neurons
TLDR
Neu2000, a derivative of sulfasalazine, attenuates NMDA‐induced neuronal toxicity and should effectively alleviate disorders that are a result of glutamate excitoxicity with fewer side effects because it is a low‐affinity gating modifier that antagonizes NMDAR in an uncompetitive manner.
A Review of the Mechanism of Antagonism of N-methyl-D-aspartate Receptor by Ketamine in Treatment-resistant Depression
TLDR
Activation of the mechanistic target of rapamycin (mTOR), as well as increased levels of BDNF, may increase long-term potentiation and result in an improvement in the symptoms of depression.
Effect of ketamine on voltage-gated potassium channels in rat primary sensory cortex pyramidal neurons
TLDR
It is found that ketamine both concentration-dependently inhibited IA currents and IK currents in S1 neurons and inhibits IK mainly by speeding up the inactivation of IK in S 1 pyramidal neurons.

Actions of ketamine, phencyclidine and MK‐801 on NMDA receptor currents in cultured mouse hippocampal neurones.
TLDR
The voltage‐ and use‐dependent blockade of the currents by three dissociative anaesthetics: ketamine, phencyclidine (PCP) and MK‐801 in mouse hippocampal neurones grown in dissociated tissue culture is characterized and suggested that both forward and reverse rate constants of blockade may in fact be larger than the authors have calculated.
Regulation of N‐methyl‐D‐aspartate receptors revealed by intracellular dialysis of murine neurones in culture.
TLDR
Investigation of intracellular regulation of N‐methyl‐D‐aspartate (NMDA) receptors in cultured murine hippocampal neurones found that ATP alone was less effective in preventing wash‐out whereas phosphocreatine and creatine phosphokinase were ineffective by themselves.
Activation of N‐methyl‐D‐aspartate receptors by L‐glutamate in cells dissociated from adult rat hippocampus.
TLDR
The long duration ofNMDA receptor channel clusters suggests that they contribute to the slow time course of the NMDA receptor‐mediated synaptic current, and supports the idea that the NMda receptor channel gating has the properties of a discrete Markov process.

Ketamine Decreases the Open Time of Single‐channel Currents Activated by Acetylcholine
TLDR
The reduction in channel lifetime produced by ketamine was dose dependent and occurred at clinically relevant concentrations and may help to explain clinical reports that ketamine can potentiate neuromuscular block produced by vecuronium or d-tubocurarine.

A kinetic analysis of the modulation of N‐methyl‐D‐aspartic acid receptors by glycine in mouse cultured hippocampal neurones.
TLDR
Responses to N‐methyl‐D‐aspartic acid (NMDA) were recorded from mouse embryonic hippocampal neurones in dissociated culture, using whole‐cell patch‐clamp recording to study modulation of NMDA receptor desensitization by glycine.
Sites of antagonist action on N-methyl-D-aspartic acid receptors studied using fluctuation analysis and a rapid perfusion technique.
TLDR
Two antagonists thought to act at the NMDA receptor agonist recognition site, 2-amino-5-phosphonovaleric acid (AP5) and kynurenic acid, did not produce changes in the mean open time or single channel conductance, consistent with their action as competitive antagonists, and zinc was a potent NMDA antagonist.

TLDR
The kinetics of glycine‐sensitive, N‐methyl‐d‐aspartate (NMDA) receptor desensitization were investigated in cultured neurones with the patch clamp technique and the rate and degree of NMDA receptor desENSitization was independent of holding potential.
