摘要：
The purpose of this study is to examine whether benzyl alcohol affects N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor in cortical cells. Benzyl alcohol (0.5-2 mM) inhibited NMDA-induced cytotoxicity. The protective effect of benzyl alcohol on NMDA-induced toxicity disappeared by washing cells with buffer to remove benzyl alcohol. Benzyl alcohol reduced NMDA receptor-mediated calcium accumulation, indicating that benzyl alcohol inhibits NMDA receptor activity.
