glutamate receptor pharmacology

I would like some ideas for antagonists and agonists to separate
AMPA-preferring and kainate-preferring receptors.  I am aware of
cyclothiazide and concanavalin A to selectively potentiate the responses,
but have not had much luck with them.  I need some specific agonists or
antagonists.  Also, I have seen a few papers with the AMPA antagonist, GYKI
53655, but I have not found this commercially available.  Does anyone have
experience with 1-BCP from Tocris Cookson? Is it very selective?  Any help
would be greatly appreciated.
