WAY-213,613 is a drug which acts as a reuptake inhibitor for the glutamate transporter subtype EAAT2, selective over other glutamate transporter subtypes and highly selective over metabotropic and ionotropic glutamate receptors.[1] It is used in scientific research into the function of the glutamate transporters.[2]
