More Info
Metabotropic glutamate receptor 7 (mGlu7) is a member of the group III mGlu receptors (mGlus), encompassed by mGlu4, mGlu6, mGlu7, and mGlu8. mGlu7 is highly expressed in the presynaptic active zones of both excitatory and inhibitory synapses, and activation of the receptor regulates the release of both glutamate and GABA. mGlu7 is thought to be a relevant therapeutic target for a number of neurological and psychiatric disorders, and polymorphisms in the GRM7 gene have been linked to autism, depression, ADHD, and schizophrenia.
Product Data
Biological target:
VU0155094 is a positive allosteric modulator with differential activity at the various group III mGluRs.
In vitro activity:
The first probe molecule (ML397) was discovered after a high-throughput screening campaign of the original Molecular Libraries Small Molecule Repository (MLSMR) library. ML397 is equipotent as a PAM against mGlu7, mGlu8 and mGlu4 and is selective against Group I and Group II mGlu receptors as well as against the EuroFins Lead Profiling Screen. Reference: Probe Reports from the NIH Molecular Libraries Program [Internet]. 2014 Apr 15 [updated 2015 Jan 16]. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/25834902/
In vivo activity:
Further concentration–response curve studies revealed that only one compound, VU0155094, was validated as an mGlu8-active PAM that displayed concentration-dependent activity. VU0155094 exhibited a potency of 1.6 μM at rat mGlu8 when assessed using the cell line and assay employed for the primary HTS (Figure 2A), and did not exhibit agonist activity in this assay in the absence of glutamate (Figure 2B).
