title: Excitatory amino acid receptor interactions of a novel alpha-phosphinic acid analogue of alpha-methylaspartic acid.
abstract: An alpha-phosphino analogue of alpha-methylaspartate has been synthesized. The compound may not interact with excitatory amino acid receptors directly, as assessed by direct in vitro radioreceptor binding methods; however, it possesses weak anticonvulsant activity and exhibits an excitant action in vitro that is apparently not mediated by a N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor.
