MPEP

  • Chemical Properties
CAS No. 96206-92-7 Cat. No. BCP05962
Name MPEP
Synonyms MPEP;
Formula C14H12ClN M. Wt 193.24
  • Biological Activity
Description MPEP has no appreciable agonist or antagonist activity at the closely related recombinant human mGlu1b receptor expressed in CHO-K1 cells or a purinoreceptor endogenously expressed in L(tk-) cells up to concentrations of 100 μM. Furthermore, MPEP shows no appreciable agonist or antagonist activity in cAMP accumulation or [35S]-GTPγS binding assays at the recombinant human group II and III metabotropic receptors (human mGlu2, -3, -4a, -6, -7b, -8a) as well as the human NMDA (NMDAR1A/2A, -1A/2B), rat AMPA (GluR3) and human kainate (GluR6) receptor subtypes. In slices of rat neonatal hippocampus, striatum, and cortex but not cerebellum, MPEP inhibits DHPG-stimulated PI hydrolysis with IC50 of 8.0 nM, 20.5 nM, and 17.9 nM, respectively.MPEP positively modulates the hmGluR4 in a recombinant expression system, and the effect of MPEP is fully dependent on the activation of the orthosteric agonist L-AP4.
