(a)-kainic acid

(-)-(α)-Kainic Acid (hydrate) 是一种有效的兴奋性毒性剂，可诱发癫痫发作。(-)-(α)-Kainic Acid (hydrate) 也是离子型谷氨酸受体亚型的激动剂。

Generates large inward currents at resting membrane potential

Domoic acid is a kainic acid analog.

Aspalatone is an anti-platelet aggregator (IC50 = 180 μM, in vitro) that prolongs bleeding time significantly in a rodent model of thromboembolism. Additionally at a minimal effective dose of 24 mg/kg, aspalatone generates antioxidant and neuroprotective effects against kainic acid-induced epilepsy in rat hippocampus.

(RS)-AMPA ((±)-AMPA) monohydrate 是谷氨酸的一种类似物，对兴奋性神经递质 L-谷氨酸 (L-glutamic acid) 有激动作用。(RS)-AMPA monohydrate 不会干扰海藻酸或 NMDA 受体的结合位点。

Neuronotoxicity-IN-1 是一种吡啶并噻嗪衍生物。Neuronotoxicity-IN-1 具有神经保护活性，是红藻氨酸神经毒性的抑制剂。

3-ATA is a selective cyclin-dependent kinase 4 (Cdk4) inhibitor, attenuating kainic acid-induced apoptosis in neurons.
