CNQX (Standard)

• Description:

  CNQX (Standard) is the analytical standard of CNQX. This product is intended for research and analytical applications. CNQX (FG9065) is a potent and competitive AMPA/kainate receptor antagonist with IC50s of 0.3 μM and 1.5 μM, respectively. CNQX is a competitive non-NMDA receptor antagonist[1]. CNQX blocks the expression of fear-potentiated startle in rats[5].
