Tetrazolylglycine (Tet-Gly, LY-285,265) is a potent and selective NMDA receptor agonist, stimulating the NMDA receptor with higher potency than either glutamate or NMDA. [Lunn WH, Schoepp DD, Calligaro DO, Vasileff RT, Heinz LJ, Salhoff CR, O'Malley PJ. DL-tetrazol-5-ylglycine, a highly potent NMDA agonist: its synthesis and NMDA receptor efficacy. "Journal of Medicinal Chemistry". 1992 Nov 27;35(24):4608-12. PMID 1361579] It is a potent convulsant and excitotoxin and is used in scientific research.
