alpha-Endopsychosin

α-Endopsychosin (CAS Registry Number 99638-41-2) is an antagonist of the phencyclidine site of the NMDA receptor which was discovered in extracts of porcine brain and may also be endogenous in humans.[1][2][3] The compound appears to be a peptide, but has yet to be purified and fully characterized.[1][3]
