Dihydrokainic acid
This small molecule is a selective, non-transportable inhibitor of the EAAT2 (GLT-1) glutamate transporter, effectively blocking synaptic uptake of L-glutamate and L-aspartate. It is a valuable pharmacological tool for studying excitatory neurotransmission, astrocyte function, and related pathologies in both cellular and animal models of neurological disorders.
