Uses
trans-ACBD (trans-1-Aminocyclobutane-1,3-dicarboxylic acid) is a very potent and selective NMDA receptor agonist that modulates glutamatergic neurotransmission[1].
Biological Activity
Very potent and selective NMDA agonist. Certain confusion exists over the naming of this compound because of apparent contradictions in the literature. This is the isomer which has the carboyxlic acid and the amino groups on opposite sides of the cyclobutyl ring.
