UBP-302 is a highly selective Kainate receptor antagonist used in the study of many neurological processes. It is active at micromolar concentration within an "in vitro" preparation and specifically targets the GluR5 subunit of the receptor.

Characterisation of UBP296: a novel, potent and selective kainate receptor antagonist. "Neuropharmacology". 2004 Jul;47(1):46-64. PMID 15165833] It has only been recently made commercially available through such companies as Tocris.
