1 Anxiolytic-like activity of the mGluR5 antagonist MPEP: a comparison with diazepam and buspirone. 6-methyl-2-(phenylethynyl)pyridine glutamate receptor, ionotropic, kainate 1 Mus musculus
2 The selective and systemically active antagonist for the metabotropic glutamate receptor subtype 5 (mGluR5), 2-methyl-6-(phenylethynyl)pyridine (MPEP) was shown to display anxiolytic-like activity in a number of unconditioned assays of stress and anxiety (elevated plus maze, shock probe burying, marble burying, social interaction, and stress-induced hyperthermia) in rodents. 6-methyl-2-(phenylethynyl)pyridine glutamate receptor, ionotropic, kainate 1 Mus musculus
3 The selective and systemically active antagonist for the metabotropic glutamate receptor subtype 5 (mGluR5), 2-methyl-6-(phenylethynyl)pyridine (MPEP) was shown to display anxiolytic-like activity in a number of unconditioned assays of stress and anxiety (elevated plus maze, shock probe burying, marble burying, social interaction, and stress-induced hyperthermia) in rodents. 6-methyl-2-(phenylethynyl)pyridine glutamate receptor, ionotropic, kainate 1 Mus musculus
4 Thus, these findings confirm and extend previous reports that MPEP exhibits anxiolytic-like activity in rats, and suggests that development of mGluR5 antagonists may provide a novel approach to treating anxiety disorders. 6-methyl-2-(phenylethynyl)pyridine glutamate receptor, ionotropic, kainate 1 Mus musculus
