(–)-MK-801 is an NMDA receptor antagonist (Ki = 43 nM for inhibition of spermine binding) and an isomer of (+)-MK-801 (Item No. 10009019). In vivo, (–)-MK-801 blocks generalized seizures in a mouse model of epilepsy (ED50 = 0.85 mg/kg) and increases horizontal locomotor activity in mice (ED50 = 2.71 mg/kg). (–)-MK-801 (0.1 mg/kg) decreases immobility time in the tail suspension and forced swim tests in a mouse model of social defeat stress, indicating antidepressant-like activity. (–)-MK-801 also inhibits acetylcholinesterase (AChE) with Ki values of 6.2 and 7.9 μM for electric eel and rat brain...
