S4721 L-Glutamic acid monosodium salt L-Glutamic acid monosodium salt is the sodium salt of glutamic acid, found naturally in tomatoes, cheese and other foods. This compound acts as an excitatory transmitter and an agonist at all subtypes of glutamate receptors (metabotropic, kainate, NMDA, and AMPA). It shows a direct activating effect on the release of DA from dopaminergic terminals.

E1400 Kainic acid Kainic acid (algakaininso) is a potent neuroexcitatory compound derived from the red alga Digenea simplex, which acts as an agonist for AMPA/kainate-type ionotropic glutamate receptors. It induces excitotoxicity by promoting excessive Ca²⁺ influx, leading to oxidative stress, mitochondrial dysfunction, and selective neuronal death.
E1257 (R,S)-3,5-DHPG Hydrochloride (R,S)-3,5-DHPG hydrochloride (DHPG, Dihydroxy phenylglycine) is a salt of free amino acid dihydroxy phenylglycine (DHPG) which acts as a selective and potent agonist of group I metabotropic glutamate receptors (mGluR) (mGluR 1 and mGluR 5).
