Chemical Name: 3-((R)-2-Carboxypiperazin-4-yl)-propyl-1-phosphonic
acid
Biological Activity:
Highly potent NMDA antagonist; more active isomer. Shows some
selectivity for NR2A-containing receptors (Ki values are 0.041,
0.27, 0.63 and 1.99 μM for inhibition of
NR2A-, NR2B-, NR2C- and NR2D-containing recombinant NMDA receptors
respectively).
