DL-AP5 is the racemic version of the selective N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor antagonist, D-AP5 .[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]
