L-AP5
Chemical Name: L-(+)-2-Amino-5-phosphonopentanoic acid
Purity: ≥99%
Biological Activity
L-AP5 is an NMDA antagonist and an agonist at quisqualate-sensitized AP6 site, where it is more potent than the isomer D-AP5. L-AP5 is more potent than D-AP5 at depressing synaptic responses at amino acid-induced and synaptic excitation of cat spinal neurons.D-isomer, DL mixture and sodium salt also available.
