Description

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
