Metabotropic glutamate (mGlu) receptors have multiple actions on neuronal excitability through G-protein-linked modifications of enzymes and ion channels. They act presynaptically to modify glutamatergic and gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA)-ergic transmission and can contribute to long-term changes in synaptic function. The recent

In a previous study we reported that the addition of a carboxylic group to the mGlu receptor agonist aminocyclopentane-1,3-dicarboxylate (ACPD) changes its properties from agonist to antagonist at both mGlu1 and mGlu2 receptors, and resulted in an increase in affinity

Metabotropic glutamate (mGlu) receptors have received much attention, driven by a strong belief in the potential of these modulatory glutamate receptors as drug targets. So far, major drug discovery programs have largely focused on group I (mGlu1 and 5) and

The effects of group II and group III metabotropic glutamate receptor agonists on synaptic responses evoked by primary afferent stimulation in the dorsal horn, but mostly substantia gelatinosa, neurons were studied in the spinal cord slice preparation using conventional intracellular
