Biochem/physiol Actions

Brain-penetrant, orally active, potent and selective mGluR5 (mGlu5) negative allosteric modulator & inverse agonist.
CTEP (RO4956371) may be used as a therapeutic to reduce hippocampal long-term depression, protein synthesis, and audiogenic seizures in the fragile X mental retardation 1 (Fmr1) knockout mouse.
CTEP is a high-affinity, orally active, potent and selective metabotropic glutamate receptor 5 (mGlu5 or mGluR5) negative allosteric modulator (NAM) and inverse agonist (human/mouse/rat mGlu5 Kd = 1.7/1.8/1.5 nM; IC50 against quisqualate stimulation = 6.4/16.8/8/8 by IP accumulation or 11.4/42/4/6.9 by Ca2+ mobilization using human/mouse/rat mGlu5 HEK293 transfectants; IC50 = 40.1 nM against constitutive IP level in human mGlu5 HEK293) with >1000-fold selectivity over 103 molecular targets, including all known mGluRs. CTEP is an excellent tool compound for long-term in vivo studies (in mice and rats) with good pharmacokinetic properties (B/P ratio = 2.6, oral bioavailability ~100%, T1/2 ~18 hrs post 4.5 mg/kg p.o. in mice) and reported to display 30- to 100-fold higher in vivo potency than MPEP and fenobam in two rodent behavioral models sensitive to antianxiety drugs.

Rett syndrome (RTT) is caused by mutations in the gene encoding methyl-CpG binding protein 2 (MECP2), an epigenetic regulator of mRNA transcription. Here, we report a test of the hypothesis of shared pathophysiology of RTT and fragile X, another monogenic

A feature of early postnatal neocortical development is a transient peak in signaling via metabotropic glutamate receptor 5 (mGluR5). In visual cortex, this change coincides with increased sensitivity of excitatory synapses to monocular deprivation (MD). However, loss of visual responsiveness

Previous studies have hypothesized that diverse genetic causes of intellectual disability (ID) and autism spectrum disorders (ASDs) converge on common cellular pathways. Testing this hypothesis requires detailed phenotypic analyses of animal models with genetic mutations that accurately reflect those seen
