Biochem/physiol Actions
Fenobam is a potent, selective, noncompetitive glutamate mGluR5 receptor antagonist. Fenobam displays inverse agonist properties; blocks mGluR5 constitutive activity in vitro (IC50 = 87 nM, slightly weaker than MPEP). Fenobam acts at an allosteric modulatory site shared with MPEP and binds the mGlu5 receptor with Kd values of 54 and 31 nM for rat and human receptors, respectively. Fenobam belongs to a structurally different class than MPEP; devoid of GABAergic activity and thus typical benzodiazepine-like side effects; displays anxiolytic activity.
Potent, selective, noncompetitive metabotropic glutamate receptor antagonist (mGluR5). Displays anxiolytic activity.
