| 2-amino-5-phosphonovalerate | <chemical> A potent and specific antagonist of nmda receptors (receptors, nmda) in the d-enantiomeric form. The l form is inactive at nmda receptors but may affect the ap4 (2-amino-4-phosphonobutyrate; apb) excitatory amino acid receptors. Pharmacological action: excitatory amino acid antagonists. Chemical name: Norvaline, 5-phosphono- (12 Dec 1998) |
