| | N-Methyl-D-aspartic acid Usage And Synthesis |
| Chemical Properties | white to off-white crystalline powder | | Uses | NMDA agonist | | Uses | NMDA(N-Methyl-D-aspartic acid)is a specific agonist for NMDA receptor mimicking the action of glutamate, the neurotransmitter which normally acts at that receptor. | | Definition | ChEBI: An aspartic acid derivative having an N-methyl substituent and D-configuration. | | General Description | N-Methyl-D-aspartic acid (NMDA) is an endogenously generated molecule in rat nervous system and endocrine glands. NMDA is present at low level (nmol/g) in the adenohypophysis, hypothalamus, brain, and testis. NMDA is derived from D-Asp by an S-adenosylmethionine-dependent enzyme also referred to as NMDA synthase. | | Biological Activity | Prototypic NMDA receptor agonist. Also available as part of the Mixed NMDA Receptor Tocriset™ . | | Biochem/physiol Actions | Excitotoxic amino acid. Prototypic agonist at the NMDA-type glutamate receptor that regulates ion channels; important in long-term potentiation, ischemia, and epilepsy. | | storage | Room temperature | | references | [1] watkins jc, jane de. the glutamate story. br j pharmacol. 2006 jan;147 suppl 1:s100-8.
