Apexbio Technology LLC Riluzole 1744-22-5 10mM (in 1mL DMSO)

Supplier: Apexbio Technology LLC A85135.1
Riluzole (CAS 1744-22-5) is a small molecule modulator of glutamatergic neurotransmission exhibiting multiple mechanisms of neuroprotection Its action primarily involves inhibition of voltage-gated sodium channels modulation of high-voltage-activated calcium and potassium channels and interference with protein kinase C activity collectively mitigating neuronal excitotoxicity In cultured rat cortical neurons riluzole inhibits inward sodium currents with an IC50 of 51 M At submicromolar to micromolar concentrations riluzole enhances sodium-dependent glutamate uptake mediated by the GLAST GLT1 and EAAC1 transporters Owing to these properties riluzole is commonly utilized in neuroscience research on excitotoxicity neurodegeneration and related pathologies
