What is PMPA(NAALADaseinhibitor)?

The Uses of PMPA(NAALADaseinhibitor)

2-(Phosphonomethyl)pentanedioic Acid is a selective glutamate carboxypeptidase 2 (GCP-II) inhibitor, the enzyme which catabolizes the abundant neuropeptide N-acetyl-aspartyl-glutamate (NAAG) to N-acetylaspartate (NAA) and glutamate. A posiible target in the treatment of multiple sclerosis and Schizophrenia.

What are the applications of Application

2-(Phosphonomethyl)-pentanedioic acid is an inhibitor of the neuropeptidase NAALADase

Biological Activity

Highly potent and selective inhibitor of? glutamate carboxypeptidase 2 (GCP II/N-acetylated α -linked dipeptidase/NAALADase) with a K i value of 275 pM. Neuroprotective; protects against glutamate-mediated motor neuron degeneration and reduces volume of injury following middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO).
