NMDA-Ligand

General

The N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor (also known as the NMDA receptor or NMDAR), is a glutamate receptor and ion channel found in neurons. Not an alpha\/beta hydrolase target but can be used as a building block for larger inhibitors of enzymes of the family designed as multitarget compounds. NMDA receptor: ionotropic clas of glutamate receptors characterized by affinity for N-methyl-D-aspartate. NMDA receptors have an allosteric binding site for glycine which must be occupied for the channel to open efficiently and a site within the channel itself to which magnesium ions bind in a voltage-dependent manner.
