DescriptionKainic acid (487-79-6) is a conformationally restricted glutamate analog which acts as a selective agonist at kainate receptors. CNS stimulant and neurotoxin. Kainic acid is a classic neuroexcitatory agent for induction of seizures in laboratory animals (typical dose 10-30 mg/kg).
Usesexcitory amino acid, neurotoxin, neurobiology tool
UsesNeurobiological tool.
Usesglutamate receptor agonist, anthelmintic
Uses(-)-α-Kainic Acid is a naturally occurring neuroexcitatory chemical that is an selective agonist for a subtype of ionotropic glutamate receptor. Administration of (-)-α-Kainic Acid has been shown to increase production of reactive oxygen species, mitochondrial dysfunction, and apoptosis in neurons in many regions of the brain, particularly in the hippocampal subregions and in the hilus of dentate gyrus.
