Biochem/physiol Actions

(±)-α-Methyl-(4-tetrazolylphenyl)glycine (MTPG) was used in rat models of cerebral ischemia to explore the role of group II metabotropic glutamate receptors mGluR2/3 in brain ischemia tolerance. MTPG inhibited the induction of ischemia tolerance indicating the involvement of mGluR2/3 in the induction of the protective mechanism.
Potent antagonist for (1S,3S)-ACPD-sensitive receptors; preference for GluR2 and GluR3 subtypes

The depression of the monosynaptic excitation of neonatal rat motoneurones produced by the metabotropic glutamate receptor (mGluR) agonists (1S,3S)-1-aminocyclopentane-1, 3-dicarboxylate (ACPD) or L-2-amino-4-phosphonobutyrate (L-AP4) was antagonized by three novel phenylglycine analogues: (RS)-alpha-methyl-4-sulphonophenylglycine (MSPG), (RS)-alpha-methyl-4-phosphonophenylglycine (MPPG) and (RS)-alpha-methyl-4-tetrazolylphenylglycine (MTPG).
