α-Amino-3-hydroxy-5-methylisoxazole-4-propionic acid

Description:

α-Amino-3-hydroxy-5-methylisoxazole-4-propionic acid, commonly known as AMPA, is a synthetic amino acid and a potent agonist of the AMPA subtype of glutamate receptors in the central nervous system. It is characterized by its structure, which includes an isoxazole ring, contributing to its bioactivity. AMPA plays a crucial role in fast synaptic transmission in the brain and is involved in various neurological processes, including learning and memory. The compound is typically soluble in water and exhibits a relatively low molecular weight. Its pharmacological properties make it a significant compound in neuroscience research, particularly in studies related to excitatory neurotransmission and neuroplasticity. Additionally, AMPA is often used in experimental settings to investigate the mechanisms of synaptic transmission and the effects of glutamate receptor modulation. Safety and handling precautions are essential when working with AMPA, as with any chemical substance, to mitigate potential risks associated with its use in laboratory environments.
