Biological Activity

L-AP4 is a selective group III metabotropic glutamate receptor agonist that acts at mGlu4, mGlu8, mGlu6 and mGlu7 receptors (EC50 values = 0.1-0.13 μM, 0.29 μM, 1.0-2.4 μM and 249-337 μM, respectively). L-AP4 is a synaptic depressant and inhibits excitatory post-synaptic currents. L-AP4 is also an agonist at the quisqualate-sensitized AP6 site in hippocampus.

DL Mixture and D-isomer also available.
