Background
D-AP5 is a selective NMDA receptor antagonist (Kd = 1.4 μM), which can inhibit the glutamate binding site of NMDA receptors competitively[1]. D-AP5 causes sensorimotor disorders during spatial task, but gradually worsens as animals fail to learn. Rats treated with D-AP5 show a space-dependent delay-dependent defect in the delay-matched placement protocol of the water maze[2].
