Description: GluN2C/GluN2D-selective NMDA antagonist
Chemical Name: (2S*,3R*)-1-(Phenanthren-2-carbonyl)piperazine-2,3-dicarboxylic acid
Purity: ≥98% (HPLC)
Biological Activity for PPDA
PPDA is a subtype-selective NMDA receptor antagonist that preferentially binds to GluN2C/GluN2D (formally NR2C/NR2D) containing receptors (Ki values are 0.096, 0.125, 0.31 and 0.55 μM for GluN2C, GluN2D, GluN2B and GluN2A subunits respectively).
Please refer to IUPHAR Guide to Pharmacology for the most recent naming conventions.
