Image	Description	Biochem/physiol Actions	CAS Number	Product #
	3-Nitropropionic acid ≥97%	Excitotoxin shown to cause brain lesions similar to those of Huntington's disease.	504-88-1	N5636
	D-Glutamine ≥98% (TLC)		5959-95-5	G9003
	DL-threo-β-Hydroxyaspartic acid	Glutamate transport inhibitor.	4294-45-5	H2775
	L-Cysteinesulfinic acid	Putative excitatory amino acid neurotransmitter	1115-65-7	C4418
	L-Glutamine ReagentPlus^®, ≥99% (TLC)	L-glutamine is an essential amino acid that is a crucial component of culture media that serves as a major energy source for cells in culture. L-glutamine is very stable as a dry powder and as a frozen solution. In liquid media or stock solutions, however, L-glutamine degrades relatively rapidly. Optimal cell performance usually requires supplementation of the media with L-glutamine prior to use.	56-85-9	G3126
	L-Methionine sulfoximine	Increases ornithine decarboxylase activity, and decreases the survival rate in a model of transient cerebral ischemia. Inhibits glutamine synthetase activity, and increases the release of glutamic acid.	15985-39-4	M5379
	L-trans-Pyrrolidine-2,4-dicarboxylic acid ≥98%	Selective inhibitor of glutamate uptake	64769-66-0	P7575
	Chicago Sky Blue 6B powder	Large organic acid, structurally related to glutamate, that is a potent and efficient competitive inhibitor of vesicular glutamate uptake.	2610-05-1	C8679
	Fenobam ≥98% (HPLC), solid	Fenobam is a potent, selective, noncompetitive glutamate mGluR5 receptor antagonist. Fenobam displays inverse agonist properties; blocks mGluR₅ constitutive activity in vitro (IC₅₀ = 87 nM, slightly weaker than MPEP). Fenobam acts at an allosteric modulatory site shared with MPEP and binds the mGlu₅ receptor with K_d values of 54 and 31 nM for rat and human receptors, respectively. Fenobam belongs to a structurally different class than MPEP; devoid of GABAergic activity and thus typical benzodiazepine-like side effects; displays anxiolytic activity.	57653-26-6	F0430
	Ibotenic acid ~95%, solid	Non-selective agonist with preference for NMDA glutamate receptors; neurotoxin; neuroexcitatory amino acid originally isolated from Amanita species.	2552-55-8	I2765
	MPPG ≥97% (NMR), solid	Group III/II metabotropic glutamate (mGluR) receptor antagonist	169209-65-8	M1694
	NS 521 oxalate solid	Novel benzimidazolone neuroprotective agent.	198969-52-7	N7904
	Putrescine dihydrochloride ≥98% (TLC)	Binds to the polyamine modulatory site of the NMDA receptor and potentiates NMDA-induced currents; precursor of spermidine.	333-93-7	P7505
	Riluzole solid	Glutamate release inhibitor; anticonvulsant	1744-22-5	R116
