Application

DL-2-Amino-5-phosphonopentanoic acid has been used:
  • in the inactivation of N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA)-mediated synapses
  • used in growth medium for inhibition of electrical activity in the neuronal network
  • used to isolate N-methyl-D-aspartate receptors (NMDAR) or α-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazolepropionic acid receptor (AMPAR)-mediated currents were isolated using this product
  • used in double distilled water to compare its NMDA antagonistic action with that of prion protein (PrPC)

Biochem/physiol Actions

Anticonvulsant; potent and selective NMDA receptor antagonist.
