| Bioactivity | AZD-8529 is a potent, highly selective and orally bioavailable positive allosteric modulator of mGluR2, with an EC50 of 285 nM, and shows no positive allosteric modulator responses at 20-25 M on the mGluR1, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8 subtypes. | ||||||||||||
| Invitro | AZD-8529 potentiates the effects of glutamate at mGluR2 with an EC50 of 195 nM[1].AZD-8529 does not elicit antagonist responses on mGluRs at 25 μM[1]. | ||||||||||||
| In Vivo | AZD-8529 (0.3-mg/kg, i.m.) reduces nicotine priming-induced and cue-induced reinstatement in squirrel monkeys[1]. AZD-8529 (30 mg/kg; i.p.) decreases the increased extracellular dopamine induced by nicotine in accumbens shell of freely-moving rats[1]. Animal Model: | ||||||||||||
