(R)-AMPA

(R)-AMPA is an inactive AMPA receptor ligand that inhibits the release of excitatory amino acids from neurons. (R)-AMPA is inactive in experiments that enhance the release of [3H]D-aspartate induced by electrical stimulation. (R)-AMPA is inhibited by competitive and noncompetitive AMPA receptor selective antagonists in response to AMPA and glutamate.
