Common NameQuisqualic acid
DescriptionQuisqualic acid, also known as quisqualate, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as l-alpha-amino acids. These are alpha amino acids which have the L-configuration of the alpha-carbon atom. Quisqualic acid is thought to mimic L-glutamic acid, which is a neurotransmitter in the insect neuromuscular junction and mammalian central nervous system. It causes excitotoxicity and is used in neuroscience to selectively destroy neurons in the brain or spinal cord. Quisqualic acid is a very strong basic compound (based on its pKa). Research conducted by the USDA Agricultural Research Service, has demonstrated quisqualic acid is also present within the flower petals of zonal geranium (Pelargonium x hortorum) and is responsible for causing rigid paralysis of the Japanese beetle. Quisqualic acid occurs naturally in the seeds of Quisqualis species. It is one of the most potent AMPA receptor agonists known. Quisqualic acid is found in Apis cerana, Quisqualis fructus and Quisqualis indica . Quisqualic acid is an agonist of the AMPA, kainate, and group I metabotropic glutamate receptors.
