L-α-Aminoadipic acid, a gliotoxic analogue of glutamate, may act to competitively inhibit the transport protein of D-[3H]-aspartate. Experiments have reported that this compound also causes a reduction in ischemic glutamate release in murine hippocampal slices in vitro. Additional research suggests that L-alpha-Aminoadipic acid inhibits astrocyte culture Kynurenic acid (sc-202683) synthesis which demonstrates the ability to modulate neuronal degeneration. L-alpha-Aminoadipic acid is a inhibitor of GluR and Gl Syn.
