DL-AP4 sodium salt, known chemically as DL-α-amino-4-phosphonobutyric acid sodium salt, is a synthetic compound that acts as a selective antagonist of certain glutamate receptors, particularly the metabotropic glutamate receptors. This compound is often utilized in neuropharmacological research to study the role of glutamate in various physiological and pathological processes, including neurodegenerative diseases and synaptic plasticity. DL-AP4 sodium salt is characterized by its ability to inhibit excitatory neurotransmission, making it a valuable tool in understanding excitotoxicity and neuronal signaling. The sodium salt form enhances its solubility in aqueous solutions, facilitating its use in biological assays. In terms of stability, it is generally stable under standard laboratory conditions, but like many phosphonates, it may be sensitive to hydrolysis under extreme pH conditions. Safety data indicates that, while it is used in research, appropriate handling and safety measures should be observed, as with any chemical substance.
