A multidimensional, iterative parallel synthesis effort identified a series of highly selective mGlu3 NAMs with submicromolar potency and good CNS penetration. Of these, ML337 resulted (mGlu3 IC50 = 593 nM, mGlu2 IC50 >30 μM) with B:P ratios of 0.92 (mouse) to 0.3 (rat). DMPK profiling and shallow SAR led to the incorporation of deuterium atoms to address a metabolic soft spot, which subsequently lowered both in vitro and in vivo clearance by >50%.

Immuno-pharmacological characterization of group II metabotropic glutamate receptors controlling glutamate exocytosis in mouse cortex and spinal cord.

Background And Purpose: We recently proposed the existence of mGlu -preferring autoreceptors in spinal cord terminals and of mGlu -preferring autoreceptors in cortical terminals. This study aims to verify our previous conclusions and to extend their pharmacological characterization.
Experimental Approach: We studied the effect of LY566332, an mGlu receptor positive allosteric modulator (PAM), and of LY2389575, a selective mGlu receptor negative allosteric (NAM) modulator, on the mGlu agonist LY379268-mediated inhibition of glutamate exocytosis [measured as KCl-evoked release of preloaded [ H]-D-aspartate].
