NE-100

From WikiMD's Wellness Encyclopedia

NE-100 is a selective sigma-1 receptor antagonist, with a reported binding affinity of Ki = 1.03 ± 0.01 nM, and more than 205 times selectivity over the sigma-2 receptor. It has been used in scientific research.

Pharmacology[edit | edit source]

NE-100 is a selective sigma-1 receptor antagonist. The sigma-1 receptor is a chaperone protein at the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) that modulates calcium signaling through the IP3 receptor. In the context of neurobiology, sigma-1 receptor agonists have been shown to promote neuroplasticity, while antagonists have been shown to block this activity.

Chemistry[edit | edit source]

NE-100 is a synthetic compound of the sigma receptor antagonist class. It is structurally related to other sigma receptor antagonists such as BD-1008 and BD-1047, but is reported to have greater selectivity for the sigma-1 subtype.

Research[edit | edit source]

NE-100 has been used in scientific research to study the role of sigma-1 receptors in various processes including neuroplasticity, pain perception, and the action of certain drugs of abuse. It has also been used to investigate the potential therapeutic applications of sigma-1 receptor antagonists in conditions such as depression, anxiety, and schizophrenia.
