产品描述:
LY379268 is a potent, brain-permeable, and selective agonist of group II metabotropic glutamate receptors (mGluRs), subtypes mGluR2 and mGluR3.{34626} In an assay of second messenger response, LY379268 exhibits EC50 values of 2.69 and 4.48 nM for human mGluR2 and mGluR3, respectively, with at least 80-fold selectivity over group I and III mGluRs.{34626} In a displacement assay, LY379268 displays no agonist or antagonist activity against NMDA, AMPA, or kainate receptors up to a concentration of 100 µM.{34626} However, it may influence the level of AMPA receptor trafficking in rat prefrontal cortical neurons.{34629} LY379268 confers a neuroprotective effect to the CA1 of the hippocampus in a gerbil model of induced ischemia at a dose of 10 mg/kg.{34627} In rats, LY379268 (3 mg/kg) raises the extracellular dopamine level to 168% of the basal level in the prefrontal cortex.{34628}
