MDNI-caged-L-glutamate

MDNI-caged-L-glutamate (MDNI-glu) rapidly and efficiently releases glutamate when photolysed (350-365 nm excitation). MDNI-caged-L-glutamate is inactive at neuronal glutamate receptors (up to 200 μM) and stable at neutral pH. MDNI-caged-L-glutamate is activated by laser to evoke a rapid increase in intracellular ca2+ concentration in astrocytes.
