    Product Description

    cis-ABCD is an NMDA receptor agonist.1 It binds to NMDA receptors (Ki = 0.052 µM) and is selective for NMDA over kainate and AMPA receptors in radioligand binding assays (Kis = >300 µM for both). cis-ABCD induces inward currents in Xenopus oocytes expressing rat NMDA receptors (EC50 = 1.26 µM), an effect that can be blocked by the NMDA receptor antagonist D-2-amino-7-phosphonoheptanoate (D-AP7). In vivo, cis-ABCD (30 and 70 nmol/animal) induces contralateral turning in rats.2

    WARNING This product is not for human or veterinary use.
