Dihydrokainic acid

Dihydrokainic acid is a glutamate transporters (especially GLT1) inhibitor. Dihydrokainic acid targets GLT1 with high affinity, effectively inhibiting its transport function. Dihydrokainic acid exerts its effect by inhibiting the uptake of glutamate, leading to an increase in extracellular glutamate concentration, thereby affecting neuronal excitability and neurotransmission. Dihydrokainic acid is mainly applied in the field of neuroscience for research on glutamate-related neural functions, epilepsy, learning, and memory[1][2][3][4][5].
