General description

A potent and selective ligand for the glycine modulatory site of the N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor complex. Blocks 3H-glycine binding to rat forebrain membranes (IC50 = 38 nM).
An agonist for the glycine modulatory site of the N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor complex. Mimics the effects of glycine on the NMDA receptor ion channel and blocks 3H-glycine binding to rat forebrain membrane (IC50 = 38 nM). Blocks NMDA-induced release of arachidonic acid (IC50 = 131 µM) in cerebellar granule cells. Reduces NMDA-induced cell death in hippocampal neurons.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Primary Target
Glycine modulatory site of the N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor complex
Target IC50: 38 nM in blocking 3H-glycine binding to rat forebrain membrane; 131 µM in blocking NMDA-induced release of arachidonic acid; 131 µM in cerebellar granule cells

Warning

Toxicity: Irritant (B)

Preparation Note

May require heating and sonication to achieve complete solubilization.

Reconstitution

Following reconstitution, aliquot and freeze (-20°C). Stock solutions are stable for up to 1 month at -20°C.
