| Abstract | It has been suggested that the antirelapse drug acamprosate can inhibit or potentiate glutamate/NMDA receptor-mediated responses via a polyamine site. Additionally, subchronic exposure to acamprosate increases expression of some NMDA receptor subunits. These effects on NMDA receptors imply that the drug may have neurotoxic or neuroprotective actions under different conditions, and these studies were undertaken to evaluate this possibility in hippocampal neuronal cultures. |
