D-AP4  (Synonyms: D-APB; D-2-Amino-4-phosphonobutyric acid)

D-AP4 (D-APB; D-2-Amino-4-phosphonobutyric acid), a phosphono analogue of glutamate, is an NMDA broad spectrum excitatory amino acid receptor antagonist. D-AP4 also is an agonist for a quisqualate-sensitized AP6 site in hippocampus. D-AP4 inhibits AMPA receptor-stimulated 57Co²⁺ influx in cultured cerebellar granule cells (IC₅₀ ≥ 100 μM)^[1][2][3].
