1-Amino-1,3-dicarboxycyclopentane (ACPD) is a chemical compound that binds to the metabotropic glutamate receptor (mGluR), [2] acting as a mGluR agonist. ACPD is a rigid analogue of the neurotransmitter glutamate and does not activate ionotropic glutamate receptors. [3] However, it has been reported to be an agonist of the glycine site of the NMDA receptor.[ citation needed ] ACPD can induce convulsions in neonatal rats. [4]
