EGLU

EGLU ((2S)-α-ethylglutamic acid ) is a drug that is used in neuroscience research. It was one of the first compounds found that acts as a selective antagonist for the group II metabotropic glutamate receptors (mGluR_2/3), and so has been useful in the characterization and study of this receptor subfamily.^[1]^[2]^[3]^[4]^[5]^[6]^[7]
