NBQX blocks AMPA receptors in micromolar concentrations (~10–20 μM) and also blocks kainate receptors. In experiments, it is used to counter glutamate excitotoxicity.[1] NBQX was found to have anticonvulsant activity in rodent seizure models.[2]

As the disodium salt, NBQX is soluble in water at high concentrations (at least up to 100 mM).
