Glutamate release inhibiting properties of the novel mGlu(5) receptor antagonist 2-methyl-6-(phenylethynyl)-pyridine (MPEP): complementary in vitro and in vivo evidence
L S Thomas et al. Neuropharmacology. 2001 Sep.
Abstract
We have previously demonstrated that neuronal release of the excitatory amino acid glutamate is facilitated by the selective activation of presynaptic Group I metabotropic autoreceptors. Here we report the release inhibiting actions of the novel mGlu(5) receptor-selective antagonist, 2-methyl-6-(phenylethynyl)-pyridine (MPEP), both in vitro and in vivo. These data provide compelling evidence for the presence of functional positive modulatory mGlu(5) subtype autoreceptors in the mammalian central nervous system.
