Abstract: Compounds that selectively inhibit GluN2B-containing N-methyl-D-aspartic acid receptors (NMDARs) are disclosed. In some cases, the compounds selectively target GluN2B over GluN2A, GluN2C, and/or GluN2D. Generally, the compounds possess an enhanced potency to GluN2B at a pH that is more acidic compared to the physiological pH. Pharmaceutical formulations containing one or more of the compounds are also disclosed. Additionally, methods of treating a condition, disorder or disease using the compounds or their pharmaceutical formulations thereof are disclosed.

Abstract: A compound according to Formula (I) or salts or prodrugs thereof and pharmaceutical formulations comprising the compound are provided herein for the treatment of neurological disorders. The disorders may include providing neuroprotection, preventing neurodegeneration, treating neuropathic pain or treating schizophrenia, psychoses or depression. Furthermore, the compounds may be used in combination with another active ingredient.

Abstract: An exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure provides a system comprising a pipette tip manipulable between a sample area and an active agent exposure zone and a controller configured to manipulate the pipette tip between the sample area and the active agent exposure zone, wherein when the pipette tip comprises at least a portion of a biological sample target, the controller is further configured to isolate at least a portion of the biological sample target from one or more biological sample targets. Also disclosed is a method for detecting an effect of an active agent on a cell, by forming a high-resistance seal between a cell and an apertured surface, isolating at least a portion of the cell, translocating the apertured surface in one or more translations within an x-plane, a y-plane, a z-plane, or combinations thereof, and exposing the portion of the cell to an active agent.

Abstract: Disclosed are negative allosteric modulators of GluN3-containing NMDA receptors. In general, these compounds are highly selective for GluN3 (such as GluN3A and/or GluN3B) over GluN1 and/or GluN2. They can function as non-competitive antagonists with activity that is independent of membrane potential, glycine concentration, and extracellular pH. Also disclosed are pharmaceutical formulations of the negative allosteric modulators. These compounds can be used to enhance synaptic function and/or treating a neurological condition or disorder. Exemplary neurological conditions or disorders include, but are not limited to, major mental disorders, conditions that involve basal ganglia or altered dopamine, substance abuse/addiction or predisposition to substance abuse/addiction, pain disorders, developmental delay or situations with impaired learning, memory, and/or cognition, acute neuronal or glial injuries, and circuit disorders.
