| Bioactivity | VU0650786 is a potent and selective CNS penetrant negative allosteric modulator of metabotropic glutamate receptor subtype 3 (mGlu3 NAM), with an IC50 of 392 nM. VU0650786 has antidepressant and anxiolytic activity in rodents[1]. | ||||||||||||
| In Vivo | VU0650786 (VU786) (i.p., 30 mg/kg) increases the proportion of c-Fos-positive cells by approximately 4-fold, enhances synaptic strength in cone cell subpopulations, weakens thalamocortical long-term depression (LTD), and reduces passive coping in acute models of antidepressant-like activity in inducible cFos-EGFP mice[2].The pharmacokinetic parameters of VU0650786 (compound 106) in rats[1].
