Description:

WARNING: This product is for research use only, not for human or veterinary use.

Lu AF21934 is a positive allosteric modulator of mGlu4 receptors. Lu AF21934 reduces the harmaline-induced hyperactivity but not tremor in rats. The actions of Lu AF21934 are 5-HT1A receptor-dependent. Activation of the mGlu4 receptor may be a promising mechanism for the development of novel antipsychotic drugs, efficacious toward positive, negative, and cognitive symptoms.

Biological target:
Lu AF21934 is a selective and brain-penetrant mGlu4 receptor positive allosteric modulator with an EC50 of 500 nM.
In vitro activity:
TBD
In vivo activity:
This study reports follow-up investigations on the mechanism of action of Lu AF21934, focusing on the functional interaction between the mGlu4 and 5-hydroxytryptamine (HT)1A receptors in rodents. Lu AF21934 administered at a dose of 1 mg/kg, s.c, induced a clear antipsychotic-like effect, reversing MK-801-induced hyperactivity (P < 0.009). Lu AF21934 administered at a dose of 2 mg/kg significantly inhibited the number of DOI-induced head twitches (P < 0.01). Lu AF21934 was given at a dose of 0.5 mg/kg, 60 min before the social interaction test in rats. The compound reversed social deficits induced by MK-801 administration (number of social contacts and the total duration of contacts, P < 0.0002). Lu AF21934 was administered at a dose of 5 mg/kg, 60 min before the novel object recognition test in rats, increasing the recognition index disturbed by MK-801 administration (P < 0.005). Lu AF21934 was given at a dose of 5 mg/kg, 60 min before the spatial delayed alternation test in rats, inducing antipsychotic-like effects in the spatial delayed alteration (SDA) paradigm (P < 0.0007). Newman-Keuls comparison revealed that WAY100635 antagonized Lu AF21934-induced effect, P < 0.0007, comparing to Lu AF21934-treated animals (Fig. 7a). In our present studies, the actions of Lu AF21934 were inhibited by WAY100635 in all tests conducted, suggesting that in these models, 5-HT1A receptors play an important mechanistic role in the expression of Lu AF21934-mediated effects, independently of the mechanism of mGlu4 receptor activation.
