(+)-2-Methyl-4-carboxyphenylglycine (LY367385) selectively antagonises metabotropic glutamate mGluR1 receptors

Bioorganic & Medicinal Chemistry Letters, 1997
Abstract The synthesis of three novel 4-carboxyphenylglycine derivatives is described. 2-Methyl substituents increase the antagonist potency compared to (S)-4CPG at mGluR1 receptors. Resolution of compound 1 showed that the activity resided in the (+)-isomer LY367385.

4-Methylhomoibotenic Acid Activates a Novel Metabotropic Glutamate Receptor Coupled to Phosphoinositide Hydrolysis

The Journal of Pharmacology and Experimental Therapeutics, 1997
Metabotropic glutamate receptors (mGluRs) are a family of glutamate receptors that are coupled to a variety of second messenger systems through GTP-binding proteins. Of the eight subtypes cloned to date, mGluR1 and mGluR5 are coupled to phosphoinositide hydrolysis in expression systems, and both are activated by the glutamate analogue 1 ...

Absolute Configuration of (+)-α-Methyl-4-carboxyphenylglycine (MCPG), a Metabotropic Glutamate Receptor Antagonist

Acta Crystallographica Section C Crystal Structure Communications, 1997
The title compound, (+)-MCPG [(+)-alpha-(4-carboxyphenyl)-alpha-methylglycine, C10H11NO4], is an antagonist at certain subtypes of metabotropic glutamate (mGlu) receptors. (+)-MCPG has gained widespread acceptance as a tool for probing the physiological role of mGlu receptors in the central nervous system.

Reduction of sensory and metabotropic glutamate receptor responses in the thalamus by the novel metabotropic glutamate receptor-1-selective antagonist S-2-methyl-4-carboxy-phenylglycine

Neuroscience, 1998
Previous work has shown that responses of thalamic neurons in vivo to the metabotropic glutamate receptor agonists 1S,3R-aminocyclopentane-1,3-dicarboxylate and S-3,5-dihydroxyphenylglycine can be reduced by a variety of phenylglycine antagonists. Responses of thalamic neurons to noxious thermal somatosensory stimuli were reduced in parallel by these ...

Competitive antagonism at metabotropic glutamate receptors by (S) -4-carboxyphenylglycine and (RS) -α-methyl-4-carboxyphenylglycine

European Journal of Pharmacology: Molecular Pharmacology, 1993
Two phenylglycine derivates, (S)-4-carboxyphenylglycine and (RS)-alpha-methyl-4-carboxyphenylglycine, competitively antagonised (1S,3R)-1-aminocyclopentane-1,3-dicarboxylate (ACPD)-stimulated phosphoinositide hydrolysis in rat cerebral cortical slices.

Native metabotropic glutamate receptor 4 depresses synaptic transmission through an unusual Gαq transduction pathway

Neuropharmacology, 2017
In cerebellar cortex, mGlu4 receptors located on parallel fibers play an essential role in normal motor function, but the molecular mechanisms involved are not yet completely understood. Using a strategy combining biochemical and electrophysiological approaches in the rodent cerebellum, we demonstrate that presynaptic mGlu4 receptors control synaptic ...

An mGlu4‐Positive Allosteric Modulator Alleviates Parkinsonism in Primates

Movement Disorders, 2018
Background: Levodopa remains the gold‐standard treatment for PD. However, it becomes less effective as the disease progresses and produces debilitating side effects, such as motor fluctuations and l‐dopa‐induced dyskinesia.

Anticonvulsant activity of a metabotropic glutamate receptor 8 preferential agonist, (R,S)-4-phosphonophenylglycine

European Journal of Pharmacology, 1999
Agonists at group III glutamate metabotropic receptors, such as L-serine-O-phosphate, have pro- and anti-convulsant activities in rodent models. We have used intracerebroventricular administration to test a novel group III agonist, (R,S)-4-phosphonophenylglycine (PPG), that is preferential for mglu(8), against sound-induced seizures in DBA/2 mice ...
