D-cycloserine is an antibiotic and structural analog of the amino acid D-alanine. It inhibits cell wall synthesis in certain bacteria, including Mycobacterium tuberculosis.

While it was initially identified as an antibiotic, D-cycloserine has gained attention for its activity as a partial agonist at the N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor, a type of glutamate receptor in the brain. Researchers study the mechanisms of neurotransmission and synaptic plasticity due to its interactions with NMDA receptors.
