RO4988546 is a potent mGlu?/? negative allosteric modulator.
Uses
RO4988546 is a negative allosteric modulator (NAM) that targets metabotropic glutamate receptors 2 and 3 (mGlu2, mGlu3). RO4988546 can reduce the binding of [3h]-LY354740 at the positive binding site, while affecting the receptor's G protein coupling and intracellular signaling. RO4988546 can be used in the development of antidepressants and cognitive enhancers[1].
