Biological Data

Biological description

L-AP4 is a selective group III mGluR agonist (EC50 values are 0.9, 252, 0.06-0.6 μM at mGlu4, mGlu7, mGlu8 receptors respectively and >1000 μM at other mGluRs) and also a weak NMDA receptor agonist.


L-AP4 is a potent synaptic depressant.


L-AP4 reduces glutamate release, inhibits glutamate-mediated EPSPs in the hippocampus, olfactory cortex and spinal cord and inhibits long term potentiation (LTP) in vivo.


Additionally, L-AP4 also inhibits GABA release and reversibly reduces GABA-mediated inhibitory post-synaptic potential (IPSP) amplitude.


L-AP4 also shows neuroprotective properties.
