Quisqualic acid is highly potent as a glutamate agonist at the crayfish neuromuscular junction 4, and is a powerful excitant of frog and rat spinal neurones ~. Its potency to cause depolarization in a crayfish muscle is several hundred times more powerful than that of L-glutamate on a molar basis. The quisqualate-sensitive area on the surface of the crayfish opener muscle coincides with the L-glutamate sensitive area. Quisqualic acid has the following structure s.
