N-Methyl-DL-Aspartic Acid (NMA) | NMDA Receptor Agonist for Neuroscience Research
Product Code: NMA-2025 | CAS: 17833-53-3 | Purity: ≥98%
Product Overview
N-Methyl-DL-Aspartic Acid (NMA), also known as DL-2-Methylaminosuccinic Acid, is a synthetic glutamate analogue and a potent NMDA receptor agonist. It is widely utilized in neurobiological research to study synaptic plasticity, neuronal excitotoxicity, and disease models such as neuropathic pain and retinal degeneration .
Key Features
- High Purity: Rigorously tested via HPLC (≥98% purity) to ensure consistency in experimental outcomes.
- Versatile Applications: Ideal for in vitro and in vivo studies, including fictive locomotion induction in spinal cord networks , maternal behavior neural circuitry analysis , and retinal damage modeling .
- Global Standards Compliance: Sourced from ISO-certified facilities, with full traceability and MSDS documentation.
Applications in Research
- Neuropharmacology:
- Elicits fictive locomotion in isolated spinal cords when co-applied with 5-HT (e.g., 10 µM NMA + 10 µM 5-HT) .
- Facilitates NMDA receptor activation in studies of excitotoxicity and neuroprotection .
- Behavioral Neuroscience:
- Used in excitotoxic lesions (e.g., MPOA ablation) to investigate maternal behavior mechanisms .
- Disease Modeling:
- Induces retinal cell degeneration in animal models for studying neurodegenerative disorders .
