Review, Journal: Recognition and Management of the Long-term Effects of Cranial Radiation. (Pubmed Central) - Jun 19, 2023 Hippocampal-sparing intensity modulated radiotherapy and memantine represent effective interventions to avoid damage to regions of adult neurogenesis...Radiation-induced injury of the cataract and optic system can develop when these structures receive an amount of radiation that exceeds their tolerance. Special attention should always be paid to avoid irradiation of these sensitive structures, if possible, or minimize their dose to the lowest limit.

Journal: CNS4 causes subtype-specific changes in agonist efficacy and reversal potential of permeant cations in NMDA receptors. (Pubmed Central) - Jun 7, 2023 CNS4 does not affect the activity of competitive antagonist binding at glycine (DCKA) and glutamate (DL-AP5) sites; however, it decreases memantine potency in 1/2A receptors but not in 1/2D receptors...Together, these findings reveal that CNS4 sensitizes ambient agonists and allosterically modulates agonist efficacy by altering Na permeability based on the GluN2 subunit composition. Overall, the pharmacology of CNS4 aligns with the need for drug candidates to treat hypoglutamatergic neuropsychiatric conditions such as loss function GRIN disorders and anti-NMDA receptor encephalitis.
