Overview

D-Cycloserine is a small-molecule amino acid analog used in laboratory research across neuroscience, microbiology, and analytical chemistry. In neurobiological studies, it functions as a partial agonist of the NMDA receptor, making it a widely used experimental tool for investigating mechanisms related to learning, memory, and synaptic plasticity.

In addition to its neuropharmacological relevance, D-Cycloserine exhibits antibacterial activity through inhibition of bacterial cell wall synthesis, specifically by interfering with enzymes involved in peptidoglycan formation. This dual profile makes it useful in both biological research models and method-development studies.

D-Cycloserine has also been applied in analytical workflows as a matrix-effect modifier or inhibitor when combined with other compounds.

Applications

  • Neuroscience research involving NMDA receptor modulation

  • Studies of learning, memory, and synaptic mechanisms

  • Experimental models in psychological and behavioral research

  • Microbiological studies related to cell wall synthesis

  • Analytical chemistry and method-development applications

Mechanism of Action

In neurobiological systems, D-Cycloserine acts as a partial agonist at the NMDA receptor glycine site, modulating receptor activity without full activation. In bacterial systems, it inhibits enzymes involved in peptidoglycan synthesis, disrupting cell wall formation and bacterial growth.
