AZD-8529 is a a positive allosteric modulator at the mGluR2 receptor. AZD8529 decreases Nicotine Self-Administration and Relapse in Squirrel Monkeys. AZD8529 potentiated agonist-induced activation of mGluR2 in the membrane-binding assay and in primate cortex, hippocampus, and striatum. In monkeys, AZD8529 decreased nicotine self-administration at doses (.3-3 mg/kg) that did not affect food self-administration. AZD8529 also reduced nicotine priming- and cue-induced reinstatement of nicotine seeking after extinction of the drug-reinforced responding. In rats, AZD8529 decreased nicotine-induced accumbens dopamine release. The positive allosteric modulators of metabotropic glutamate receptor 2 should be considered for relapse prevention.
