Biological Activity for (S)-3,4-DCPG

(S)-3,4-DCPG is a potent, selective mGlu_8a agonist (EC₅₀ = 31 nM). Displays > 100-fold selectivity over mGlu_1-7 and displays little or no activity at NMDA and kainate receptors. Increases c-Fos expression in stress-related brain areas following systemic administration in mice in vivo. Also potent anticonvulsant in mice in vivo.

Caged (S)-3,4-DCPG, Racemate and R-enantiomer also available.
