Summary. NPS Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NPS) has synthesized a series of open-channel blockers with varying potencies at the NMDA receptor. NPS 1506 (Fig. 1) is a moderate affinity antagonist that inhibits NMDA/glycine-induced increases in cytosolic calcium in cultured rat cerebellar granule cells (IC50 = 476 nM) and displaces the binding of [3H]MK-801 to rat cortical membranes (IC50 = 664 nM).

2-Hydroxy-5-(2,3,5,6-tetrafluoro-4-trifluoromethyl-benzylamino)-benzoic acid (Neu2000) was derived from aspirin and sulfasalazine to prevent both NMDA neurotoxicity and oxidative stress and showed marked neuroprotection in a masked fashion in two rodent models of focal cerebral ischemia.

These findings are the first to demonstrate long‐term neuroprotection of hippocampal tissue by an acute treatment in a TBI model and show that the previously reported broad efficacy of MgSO4 or NPS 1506 observed shortly after brain trauma could not be detected 8 months post‐injury.
