Description of D-AP5

D-AP5 is a selective N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor antagonist with a Kd value of 1.4μM[1]. D-AP5 inhibits the glutamate binding site of the NMDA receptor[2]. It can be used to study the role of NMDA receptors in neuropathology, particularly in neuroprotection[3].

In vitro, D-AP5 (30μM) treatment of cortical astrocytes significantly reduces the increase in intracellular Ca2+ concentration induced by synaptically released glutamate by inhibiting NMDA receptors[4]. D-AP5 (20μM) treatment of mouse hippocampal neurons significantly reduces NMDA-induced calcium influx and inhibits neuronal electrical activity, thereby protecting neurons from excitotoxic damage[5].

In vivo, D-AP5 (0.5µg/µL;1µL/h) administered via intracerebroventricular infusion to Lister hooded rats for 14 days significantly affected spatial learning and memory abilities, primarily by inhibiting NMDA receptor-mediated synaptic plasticity mechanisms and the formation of long-term potentiation (LTP)[6]. D-AP5 (5-10 nmol/µL; 0.5µL/h) administered via intracerebroventricular infusion in rats significantly inhibited LTP formation in the hippocampal CA1 region, resulting in memory impairment[7].

Protocol of D-AP5

Cell experiment [1]:

Cell lines

cortical astrocytes

Preparation method

D-AP5(30μM) was added to cells 2 minutes before agonist application, followed by electrophysiological recordings.

Reaction Conditions

30μM; 2 min

Applications

D-AP5 significantly reduces the increase in intracellular Ca2+ concentration caused by synaptically released glutamate.

Animal experiment [2]:

Animal models

Male Lister hooded rats

Preparation method

D-AP5 was infused via a chronic intracerebroventricular syringe pump for 14 days at a dose of 0.5 µg/µL and a continuous infusion rate of 1 µL/h. This chronic infusion maintains a constant drug concentration over a longer period of time.

Dosage form

0.5µg/µL at a rate of 1µL/h; i.c.v.

Applications

Chronic infusion of D-AP5 significantly affected the spatial learning and memory abilities of rats.
