  • Lead time: typically ships in 1-2 business days; timing may vary by selected option.
  • Storage: After reconstitution: The reconstituted solution can be stored at 4°C for up to 1 week. For longer periods (up to 6 months), small aliquots should be stored at -20°C. We do not recommend storing the product in working solutions for longer than a few days. Avoid multiple freeze-thaw cycles. Storage of solutions: Store at -20°C. It is recommended to prepare solutions afresh on the day of use, or aliquot stock solutions stored at -20°C to prevent repeated thawing.
  • Shipping: Shipped at room temperature. Product as supplied can be stored intact at room temperature for several weeks. For longer periods, it should be stored at -20°C.
  • Upon receipt: store at the recommended temperature as soon as possible.

Reconstitution Centrifuge the vial before adding solvent (10,000 x g for 5 minutes) to spin down all the powder to the bottom of the vial. The lyophilized product may be difficult to visualize. Add solvent directly to the centrifuged vial. Tap the vial to aid in dissolving the lyophilized product. Tilt and gently roll the liquid over the walls of the vial. Avoid vigorous vortexing. Light vortexing for up to 3 seconds is acceptable if needed. The product is soluble in pure water at high micromolar concentrations (100 µM - 1 mM). For long-term storage in solution, we recommend preparing a stock solution by dissolving the product in double-distilled water (ddH2O) at a concentration between 100-1000x of the final working concentration. Divide the stock solution into small aliquots and store at -20°C. Before use, thaw the relevant vial(s) and dilute to the desired working concentration in your working buffer. Centrifuge all product preparations before use. It is recommended to prepare fresh solutions in working buffers just before use. Avoid multiple freeze-thaw cycles to maintain biological activity
Shipping Shipped at room temperature. Product as supplied can be stored intact at room temperature for several weeks. For longer periods, it should be stored at -20°C.

Scientific background

Ro 25-6981 maleate is a highly potent and selective antagonist of GluN2B-containing NMDA receptors. The compound is an activity dependent antagonist of the receptor and demonstrates 5000 times fold selectivity for NR2B-containing receptors over NR2A-containing receptors1. Ro 25-6981 demonstrates an IC50 value of 0.009 µM towards NR2B-containing receptors and an IC50 of 52 µM towards NR2A-containing receptors1.Ro 25-6981 protects cultured cortical neurons against glutamate toxicity and has anti-depressant and anti-inflammatory effects. It can suppress ischemic brain injury by regulating autophagy-related proteins during ischemia1,2.NMDA receptors are composed of NR1 including eight different splice variants and NR2A-D. They are activated by the co-agonists glutamate and glycine1,2.
