Extra Details:: DL-AP5 is the racemic version of the selective N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor antagonist, D-AP5 (Item No. 14539).1 Whereas D-AP5 is the active (−)-stereoisomer that competitively inhibits the glutamate binding site of NMDA receptors (Kd = 1.4 μM), the (+)-isomer (L-AP5) demonstrates considerably less potent NMDA receptor antagonist activity.1 AP5 has been widely used to study the activity of NMDA receptors particularly in regard to researching synaptic plasticity, learning, and memory.2 Synonyms: 5-Phosphononorvaline; (±)-2-Amino-5-phosphonopentanoic Acid; (±)-2-Amino-5-phosphonovaleric Acid; 2-APV; 2-Amino-5-phosphonopentanoic Acid; 2-Amino-5-phosphonovaleric Acid; 5-Phosphono-DL-norvaline; AP 5; AP 5 (amino acid); APV; DL-2-Amino-5-phosphonovaleric Acid; DL-AP5 CAS Number: 76326-31-3 Molecular Formula: C₅H₁₂NO₅P Molecular Weight: 197.13 Appearance: White to off-white solid Purity: ≥95% Melting Point: Solubility: Aqueous Acid (Slightly), Methanol (Very Slightly, Heated, Sonicated), Water (Slightly) Storage: 4°C
