BD 1063 dihydrochloride has been used as a sigma-1 receptor (S1R) antagonist:
to study the in vitro and in vivo protective action of S1R against ferroptosis in hepatocellular carcinoma cells in a comparative evaluation of its anti-hyperalgesic action with that of the effects of N-(2-morpholin-4-yl-ethyl)-2-(1-naphthyloxy) acetamide (NMIN) in a chronic constriction injury model (CCI) to study the contribution of sigma receptors inhibition to the neuroprotective effects of memantine against amyloid-beta (Aβ)-induced neurotoxicity in SH-SY5Y cells
σ1受体拮抗剂,选择性比σ2部位高50倍,选择性比阿片类药物,PCP,毒蕈碱,多巴胺,α1,α2,β肾上腺素能受体,5-HT1和5-HT2受体高100倍以上。预防在小鼠中施用可卡因后的过度运动。BD 1063 is a potent sigma(1) receptor antagonist; approximately 50-fold selective for sigma-1 over sigma-2 and 100-fold or more selective over 9 other tested neurotransmitter receptors. BD 1063 has been shown to antagonize cocaine efffects.
