HA-966 is a molecule used in scientific research as a glycine receptor and NMDA receptor antagonist/low-efficacy partial agonist. It exhibits neuroprotective, anticonvulsant, anxiolytic, antinociceptive, and sedative/hypnotic effects in animal models.
HA-966 has two enantiomers with distinct pharmacological activities: the (R)-(+)-enantiomer acts as a glycine/NMDA receptor antagonist, while the (S)-(-)-enantiomer induces sedative and ataxic effects. HA-966, a derivative, is a glycine site antagonist of the NMDA receptor, blocking glycine-enhanced NMDA responses competitively. Studies show HA-966 impairs visual recognition memory in rhesus monkeys, suggesting its action on the glycine modulatory site of the NMDA receptor complex.
