Metabolite Identification
Common NameN-Methyl-D-aspartic acid
DescriptionN-Methyl-D-aspartic acid, also known as N-methylaspartate or (R)-2-methylamino-succinate, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as aspartic acid and derivatives. Aspartic acid and derivatives are compounds containing an aspartic acid or a derivative thereof resulting from reaction of aspartic acid at the amino group or the carboxy group, or from the replacement of any hydrogen of glycine by a heteroatom. N-Methyl-D-aspartic acid exists as a solid, possibly soluble (in water), and a very strong basic compound (based on its pKa) molecule.
