D-AP7 (CAS 81338-23-0)
QUICK LINKS
D-AP7 is a compound utilized in neuroscientific research due to its role as a selective antagonist for the N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor. This receptor is involved in synaptic plasticity and neurotransmission, and D-AP7 is applied in studies to understand these processes by inhibiting the NMDA receptor function. Researchers use D-AP7 to explore the mechanisms of learning and memory, as well as to dissect the contributions of NMDA receptor activity to neural network dynamics and neurodegenerative conditions. In electrophysiological experiments, D-AP7 helps in elucidating the cellular responses to glutamate, the body′s primary excitatory neurotransmitter, and in distinguishing between the actions of various glutamate receptor subtypes. Additionally, D-AP7 is used in the investigation of neurotoxicity and neuroprotection, providing insights into the complex signaling pathways that govern neuronal survival and death.
