Biochem/physiol Actions

2-(phosphonomethyl)pentanedioic acid (2-PMPA) blocks intravenous cocaine self-administration maintained by low unit doses of cocaine. In addition, it also inhibits cocaine-induced reinstatement of drug-seeking behavior. 2-PMPA reduces blood oxygen-level dependent (BOLD) signals in brain of anesthetized mice.
2-PMPA is a potent (IC50 ~ 1 nM) and selective inhibitor of Glutamate carboxypeptidase II (GCPII), also known as N-acetyl-L-aspartyl-L-glutamate peptidase I (NAALADase I), NAAG peptidase, or prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA). 2-PMPA has neuroprotective activity activity. 2-PMPA has been shown to prevent and treat cognitive impairment in the EAE model of multiple sclerosis and to protect against soman-induced neuropathology.
2-PMPA is a potent and selective inhibitor of Glutamate carboxypeptidase II (GCPII).

The emergence of covalent inhibitors and chemoproteomic probes in translational chemical biology research requires the development of robust biophysical and analytical methods to characterize their complex interactions with target biomolecules. Importantly, these methods must efficiently assess target selectivity and accurately

Present treatment strategies focus on minimizing unwanted toxicity to healthy cells during chemotherapeutic treatment. This is achieved by developing strategies to selectively deliver drugs to malignant cells over-expressing specific protein biomarkers. The drugs are attached via a self-immolative linker to
