Nicotinic acetylcholine receptor-channels (AChR) are believed to be the target site of cartap. In order to clarify the mechanisms of the cartap interaction with nicotinic AChRs, singlechannel patch clamp experiments were performed using rat clonal phaeochromocytoma (PC12) cells. Cartap increased the
MK-801 is a potent inhibitor of the NMDA subtype of glutamate receptors. Single-channel and macroscopic currents indicate that MK-801 also inhibits nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs). MK-801 does not significantly increase desensitization of the nAChRs or compete for the ACh binding site. Al
