Product Information
- 3-Amino-bicyclo[2.2.1]heptane-2-carboxylic acid
3-Amino-2-norbornanecarboxylic acid is a non-selective competitive antagonist of the GABA receptor. It reverses the effect of GABA on chloride ion channels, which is responsible for its inhibitory effect. 3-Amino-2-norbornanecarboxylic acid has been shown to be neuroprotective in animal models and is being investigated as a potential treatment for neuropathic pain. The drug has also been used as a ligand in the study of glutamate receptors. 3-Amino-2-norbornanecarboxylic acid is used in research to study ligand binding to the GABAA receptor, with an emphasis on the rate constants and kinetic properties of ligands binding to this receptor type.
