Biochem/physiol Actions

NBQX [2,3-dihydroxy-6-nitro-7-sulphamoyl-benzo(F)quinoxaline], an anticonvulsant provides protection against white matter damage in spinal cord crush injury and also protects oligodendrocyte in experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE). However, its role in preventing inflammation in EAE is not yet clear.

Neuroprotective AMPA/kainate glutamate receptor antagonist.
