DAPT(CAS: 208255-80-5)

DAPT, also known as DL-4-(2-Amino-2-(cyclohexylmethyl)vinyl)-3-methyl-2-pyrrolidinone, is a G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) modulator with specific antagonistic activity at the NMDA receptor NR2B subunit. It is commonly used in research to study neural plasticity and is also used in drug discovery for its pharmacological properties.

DAPT is primarily used in research to investigate the mechanisms of neuron signaling and plasticity. It is also utilized in drug discovery to develop treatments for neurodegenerative diseases and pain management. Its specific antagonistic activity at the NMDA receptor NR2B subunit makes it a valuable tool in these fields.

DAPT is generally considered safe when handled properly. However, it is important to follow all safety guidelines, including wearing appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) such as gloves and goggles, and working in a well-ventilated area. Avoid contact with skin and eyes, and ensure proper disposal of waste materials.

DAPT should be stored in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and heat sources. It should be kept in a tightly sealed container to prevent exposure to air and moisture. Store it at room temperature (15-25°C) and protect from light. Avoid freezing and keep away from flammable materials.
