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].
