General description

A potent negative allosteric modulator highly selective for mGluR5 (IC50 = 87 nM; Kd = 54 nM and 31 nM at recombinant mGlu5 receptors of rat and human, respectively). Biologically active admitted orally or systematically. Frequently used for assessing the functional roles of mGlu5 receptors in a variety of brain functions (i.e. learning and memory, circadian rhythms, reward and decision making, and locomotion) and disorders (i.e. addition, depression, seizures, anxiety disorder, Parkinson′s disease, Alzheimer′s disease, and Down syndrome). A leading therapeutic candidate for treatment of fragile X syndrome.
