RuBi-Glutamate hexafluorophosphate sodium
RuBi-Glutamate hexafluorophosphate sodium is a neuronal activator. RuBi-Glutamate hexafluorophosphate sodium photocleaves to release glutamate upon one- or two-photon excitation, activating glutamate receptors in cortical pyramidal neurons. RuBi-Glutamate hexafluorophosphate sodium reduces peak amplitude of evoked GABAergic inhibitory postsynaptic currents in its caged form. RuBi-Glutamate hexafluorophosphate sodium can be used for the research of Huntington's disease.

Biological Activity
RuBi-Glutamate (3 mM) hexafluorophosphate sodium induces a 41% smaller intracellular sodium transient (a marker of glutamate transport activity) in SR101+ striatal astrocytes from Q175 homozygous Huntington's disease (HD) mice compared to WT mice after photolytic uncaging[2].
RuBi-Glutamate (0.1-3 mM) hexafluorophosphate sodium induces GTCs in SR101+ striatal astrocytes that are significantly smaller in Q175 homozygous HD mice than WT mice after photolytic uncaging[2].
RuBi-Glutamate (1 mM) hexafluorophosphate sodium induces Glutamate-induced spine current (GISCs) in WT striatal projection neurons[2].
