AI Article Synopsis

  • The study investigates the effects of specific metabotropic glutamate receptor (mGluR) agonists and modulators when used alongside L-DOPA in marmosets with Parkinson's disease symptoms.
  • Results showed that LY-404,039 and CBiPES significantly reduced bradykinesia and improved posture, while also enhancing alertness compared to other treatments.
  • These findings suggest that targeting mGluR may offer new therapeutic options for improving Parkinson's symptoms when used in conjunction with L-DOPA.

Article Abstract

We have previously discovered that the selective activation of metabotropic glutamate type 2 receptors (mGluR) and concurrent stimulation of metabotropic glutamate types 2 and 3 receptors (mGluR) enhance the anti-parkinsonian action of L-3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine (L-DOPA). Here, we sought to determine the effects of the mGluR orthosteric agonists LY-354,740 and LY-404,039, as well as the effects of the mGluR positive allosteric modulators LY-487,379 and CBiPES on the range of movement, bradykinesia, posture and alertness as adjuncts to L-DOPA. Ten 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine (MPTP)-lesioned marmosets entered 4 experimental streams: L-DOPA + LY-354,740 (vehicle, 0.1, 0.3 and 1 mg/kg), L-DOPA + LY-404,039 (vehicle, 0.1, 1 and 10 mg/kg), L-DOPA + LY-487,379 (vehicle, 0.1, 1 and 10 mg/kg), L-DOPA + CBiPES (vehicle, 0.1, 1 and 10 mg/kg). For each molecule, treatments were randomised, and the range of movement, bradykinesia, posture and alertness were assessed by a blinded rater. None of the tested compounds significantly altered the global range of movement. LY-404,039 and CBiPES both reduced global bradykinesia, by up to 46% (both P < 0.05). LY-354,740, LY-404,039 and CBiPES each improved global posture by 35%, 44% and 39% (each P < 0.05), respectively. LY-404,039 and CBiPES both enhanced alertness by 54% (P < 0.05) and 79% (P < 0.01), respectively. LY-487,379 did not improve any of the parameters. Our results suggest that selective mGluR positive allosteric modulation and combined mGluR orthosteric stimulation might benefit bradykinesia, posture and alertness in PD when added to L-DOPA, which potentially represent novel therapeutic indications for molecules acting via these mechanisms.
