Description

N-Methyl-D-glucamine HCl is a salt of N-methylglucamine and hydrochloric acid. It is used as a buffer to maintain the pH of solutions at a desired level. N-Methyl-D-glucamine HCl has an inhibition constant (Ki) of 0.5 mM for glutamate, which can be used to measure the concentration of glutamate in tissue samples or reaction mixtures. This compound also inhibits locomotor activity, and its effect on blood pressure may be due to its ability to inhibit amines. The Ki for chloride is approximately 2 mM, and it can be used to measure the concentration of chloride in solution.
