DL-AP5 (Synonyms: DL-2-Amino-5-Phosphonovaleric acid,2-APV)

Catalog No.GC17206 Copy One-Click Copy Product Info

DL-AP5 is an racemic form of a selective NMDA (N-methyl-D-aspartate) receptor antagonist. D-AP5 is the active (-) stereoisomer, which can competitively inhibit the glutamate binding site of the NMDA receptor (Kd = 1.4μM), while the (+) isomer (L-AP5) shows relatively low NMDA receptor antagonist activity.

Description of DL-AP5

DL-AP5 is an racemic form of a selective NMDA (N-methyl-D-aspartate) receptor antagonist. D-AP5 is the active (-) stereoisomer, which can competitively inhibit the glutamate binding site of the NMDA receptor (Kd = 1.4μM), while the (+) isomer (L-AP5) shows relatively low NMDA receptor antagonist activity [1]. NMDA is a glutamate-gated ion channel widely present in the central nervous system and plays a crucial role in excitatory synaptic transmission [2]. DL-AP5 has significant analgesic activity and can block the channels in rabbit retina [3-4].

In vitro, DL-AP5 (100μM; 6h) can inhibit the level of Arc/Arg3.1 protein in cortical neurons induced by glutamate [5]. Pre-incubation with DL-AP5 (100μM; 20min) reduces the phosphorylation level of intermediate filament (IF) protein in rat brain cortex slices treated with α-ketoisocaproic acid (KIC) [6].

In vivo, DL-AP5 (20, 40mM; 14 days; intracerebroventricular injection) significantly reduces the vaginal opening age of immature female rats and inhibits the effect of intravenous injection of NMDA on the response to luteinizing hormone [7]. DL-AP5 (0, 2.5, 5 and 10nM; 10μl, single-dose intracerebroventricular injection) increases the food intake of broiler chickens in the 3-hour food deprivation (FD3) model in a dose-dependent manner and weakens the reduction in food consumption caused by the injection of ghrelin [8].

Protocol of DL-AP5

Cell experiment [1]:

Cell lines

Cortical neurons cells

Preparation Method

Neurons were resuspended in neurobasal medium containing 2% B27 supplement and 0.5mM l-Glutamine, and then the neurons were seeded at a density of 3 × 105 cells/cm2. Before seeding, culture vessels were coated with poly-l-lysine (PLL, 50μg/ml) at room temperature overnight. Cortical neurons were treated with 0.5mM glutamate (Glu) with or without the NMDAR antagonist DL-AP5 (100μM) or the AMPAR antagonist NBQX (100μM), and the expression of Arc/Arg3.1 was detected by western blot.

Reaction Conditions

100μM; 6h

Applications

DL-AP5 significantly inhibited the increase in Arc/Arg3.1 protein levels in cortical neurons induced by glutamate to a certain extent.
Animal experiment [2]:

Animal models

chicken

Preparation Method

Testing the effects of centrally administered of DL-AP5 and glutamate on the feeding response induced by ghrelin in chickens. The birds received 0, 2.5, 5, and 10nM of DL-AP5 in a volume of 10μl. Control group was injected with 10μl of 0.9% NaCl solution. Three hours before the beginning of the experiments, animals were deprived of food but with water ad lib. Immediately after injections, the birds were returned to their cages. Fresh food was supplied at the time of injection, and cumulative feed intake (grams) was recorded at 15, 30, 60, 120, and 180min after injection.

Dosage form

0, 2.5, 5, and 10nM; 10μl; single-dose; intraventricular injection

Applications

DL-AP5 increased the food intake of broilers subjected to 3-hour food deprivation (FD3) in a dose-dependent manner.
