Application
(2S,4R)-4-Methylglutamic acid has been used as a kainate receptor (KAR) antagonist to test its effect on acetylcholine release in muscle cells.
Biochem/physiol Actions
(2S,4R)-4-Methylglutamic acid (SYM 2081) is a selective antagonist for the kainate receptor that elicits antihyperalgesic and antinociceptive functionality. It may be useful to treat mechanical allodynia associated with the cold-freeze injury model. SYM 2081 also mediates the suppression of glutamate release from injured C-fibers. It may also be involved in the attenuation of heat hyperalgesia in nerve injury models.
