Phencyclidine (PCP) and ketamine are known to block NMDA receptor mediated excitotoxicity by non-competitively blocking the NMDA receptor calcium channel. PCP and ketamine have the paradoxical effect of also inducing the heat shock gene, hsp70, in the cingulate and retrosplenial cortex of the rat. The present study shows that DNQX, a specific AMPA receptor antagonist, given as either a 5 mg/kg or 10 mg/kg intraperitoneal dose or into the lateral cerebral ventricle (5 microliters of 0.5 mg/ml) significantly diminished PCP (40 mg/kg) and ketamine (80, 100, 120 mg/kg) hsp70 induction in the posterior cingulate and retrosplenial cortex. The most dramatic decrease of hsp70 induction was seen with the intraventricular dose of DNQX. Present findings show that the AMPA receptor has a role in PCP/ketamine induction of hsp70 in the cortex. DNQX inhibition of PCP/ketamine hsp70 induction was likely related to AMPA receptor antagonism which prevented excess calcium influx via voltage-gated calcium channels.

D007649 Ketamine A cyclohexanone derivative used for induction of anesthesia. Its mechanism of action is not well understood, but ketamine can block NMDA receptors (RECEPTORS, N-METHYL-D-ASPARTATE) and may interact with sigma receptors. 2-(2-Chlorophenyl)-2-(methylamino)cyclohexanone,CI-581,Calipsol,Calypsol,Kalipsol,Ketalar,Ketamine Hydrochloride,Ketanest,Ketaset,CI 581,CI581
D010622 Phencyclidine A hallucinogen formerly used as a veterinary anesthetic, and briefly as a general anesthetic for humans. Phencyclidine is similar to KETAMINE in structure and in many of its effects. Like ketamine, it can produce a dissociative state. It exerts its pharmacological action through inhibition of NMDA receptors (RECEPTORS, N-METHYL-D-ASPARTATE). As a drug of abuse, it is known as PCP and Angel Dust. 1-(1-Phenylcyclohexyl)piperidine,Angel Dust,CL-395,GP-121,Phencyclidine Hydrobromide,Phencyclidine Hydrochloride,Sernyl,Serylan,CL 395,CL395,Dust, Angel,GP 121,GP121

D002118 Calcium A basic element found in nearly all tissues. It is a member of the alkaline earth family of metals with the atomic symbol Ca, atomic number 20, and atomic weight 40. Calcium is the most abundant mineral in the body and combines with phosphorus to form calcium phosphate in the bones and teeth. It is essential for the normal functioning of nerves and muscles and plays a role in blood coagulation (as factor IV) and in many enzymatic processes.
