What is D-AP5?

Description

D-AP5 is a selective N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor antagonist (K_d = 1.4 μM) that competitively inhibits the glutamate binding site of NMDA receptors. Whereas D-AP5 is the active (−)-stereoisomer, its (+)-isomer (L-AP5) demonstrates considerably less potent NMDA receptor antagonist activity. AP5 has been widely used to study the activity of NMDA receptors particularly in regard to researching synaptic plasticity, learning, and memory.

The Uses of D-AP5

A competitive NMDA antagonist

What are the applications of Application

D(?)-2-Amino-5-phosphonovaleric acid (D-AP5) is a selective antagonist of the NMDA receptor

General Description

Active enantiomer of DL-2-amino-5-phosphonopentanoic acid (AP5) that is a commonly used competitive NMDA receptor antagonist.

Biological Activity

Widely used competitive NMDA antagonist. More active form of AP5. Also agonist at quisqualate-sensitized AP6 site where it is less potent than the L-isomer (L-(+)-2-Amino-5-phosphonopentanoic acid ). Also available as part of the Mixed NMDA Receptor Tocriset™ .
