| Scientific Background | Kainic acid is a conformationally restricted glutamate analog which acts as a selective agonist at kainate receptors. It is a central nervous system stimulant and neurotoxin. It acts as a classic neuroexcitatory agent for induction of seizures in laboratory animals (typical dose 10-30 mg/kg). |
