Biological Activity
ADX88178 is a potent positive allosteric modulator for metabotropic glutamate receptor 4 (mGluR4) with EC50 of 4 nM for human mGluR4.
In Vitro
ADX88178 is developed as a potent and selective mGluR4 positive allosteric modulator. ADX88178 is used as a novel radioligand for imaging of metabotropic glutamate receptor subtype 4 (mGluR4). ADX88178 potentiates glutamate-mediated activation of human mGluR4 with EC50 values of 4 nM without significant effects on other mGluRs (EC50 > 30 μM)[1]. ADX88178 is novel potent, selective, and brain-penetrant positive allosteric modulator of the mGlu4. Microglia are pretreated with 1, 10 or 100 nM ADX88178 or 100 nM LAP4 for 30 min followed by LPS treatment for 24 h prior to collecting culture supernatant for ELISA measurement of TNFα levels. The pre-treatment with ADX88178 and LAP4 both significantly attenuate LPS-induced TNFα levels. As little as 1 nM of ADX88178 is sufficient to inhibit TNFα, and is as effective at concentrations of 10 and 100 nM[2].
