NR2D IC50
(μM)
NR2D/NR2B IC50 Ratio NR2C/NR2B IC50 Ratio
Con-P 2.3 0.3 ≫ 10 ≥ 10 > 10 ≫10
Con-R ~1 1.0 7.3 ≫ 10 ≫ 10 7.3
Con-G ≫ 10 0.1 1 1 10 10
Con-Pr1 ≫ 10 0.2 ≥ 10 1 5 ≥ 10
Con-Pr2 ≫ 10 0.5 ≥ 10 1 2 ≥ 10
Con-Pr3 ≫ 10 0.5 ≥ 10 8 16 ≥ 10

Con-P IC50 values were obtained from the concentration-response curves in Fig. 6; data for Con-Pr1, Con-Pr2, Con-Pr3, and Con-G were obtained from Teichert et al., (2007); data for Con-R obtained using NR1-1b subunit in combination with NR2 subunits (White et al., 2000).
