Description

Application

Dihydrokainic acid has been used as a glutamate transporter (GLT-1) inhibitor in the glutamate uptake assay of astrocytes and glial cells. It may be used as a GLT-1 inhibitor in Lateral habenula (LHb).

Biochem/physiol Actions

Dihydrokainic acid is a selective inhibitor of the GLT-1 glutamate transporter. At higher concentrations, dihydrokainate is a weak inhibitor of AMPA/kainate glutamic acid receptors.

Dihydrokainic favors neuronal cell death. It modulates anxiety and depression behaviors.
