Description

Homoibotenic Acid is a potent neuroactive compound and a structural analog of ibotenic acid, a key agonist for glutamate receptors. This high-purity chemical is essential for advanced neuroscience research and pharmaceutical development, particularly in the study of excitatory neurotransmission and neurodegenerative pathways. It serves as a critical research tool for neuropharmacologists, medicinal chemists, and life science organizations focused on central nervous system (CNS) disorders.

Application

• Neuroscience Research: Used as a selective agonist for studying ionotropic glutamate receptors (iGluRs) and their role in synaptic transmission.
• Neuropharmacology: A key tool compound for investigating excitotoxicity, neuronal plasticity, and the mechanisms underlying neurodegenerative diseases.
• Medicinal Chemistry: Serves as a sophisticated building block or reference standard in the design and development of novel CNS-targeting therapeutics.
• Biochemical Assays: Employed in high-throughput screening (HTS) and in vitro assays to identify and characterize new modulators of glutamatergic signaling pathways.
• Toxicology Studies: Used in research models to understand the effects of excitatory amino acids on neuronal health and function.
