Bioactivity | VU0361737 (ML-128) is a potent, selective and CNS penetrant positive allosteric modulator of metabotropic glutamate receptor 4 (mGluR4 PAM), with EC50s of 240 nM and 110 nM for human and rat mGluR4 receptors, respectively. VU0361737 has neuroprotective effect. VU0361737 is potential for Parkinson's disease research[1][2]. | ||||||||||||
Invitro | VU0361737 displays weak activity at mGlu5 and mGlu8 receptors and inactive at mGlu1, mGlu2, mGlu3, mGlu6 and mGlu7 receptors[1].VU0361737 (1-10 μM) partially attenuates the Staurosporine (HY-15141)- and Doxorubicin (HY-15142)-evoked cell death on human neuroblastoma SH-SY5Y cells[3]. | ||||||||||||
In Vivo | VU0361737 exhibits terminal elimination half-lives (rat 1.9 h) due to high plasma clearance (894 mL/min/kg) following Intraperitoneal injection ( rat 10 mg/kg)[1]. Animal Model: | ||||||||||||
