Application

SIB 1893 may be used in mGluR5 metabotropic glutamate receptor-mediated cell signaling studies.

Biochem/physiol Actions

SIB 1893 non-competitively inhibits glutamate-induced increase in Ca2+ at human metabotropic glutamate receptor 1 (hmGluR1).1 It also acts as a positive allosteric modulator of hmGluR4.2
Selective and noncompetitive mGlu5 metabotropic glutamate receptor antagonist.

We have identified 2-methyl-6-(2-phenylethenyl)pyridine (SIB-1893) and 2-methyl-6-phenylethynyl pyridine hydrochloride (MPEP) as positive allosteric modulators for the hmGluR4. SIB-1893 and MPEP enhanced the potency and efficacy of L-2-amino-4-phophonobutyrate (L-AP4) in guanosine 5'-O-(3-[(35)S]thiotriphosphate ([(35)S]GTPgammaS) binding and efficacy in cAMP studies. These effects

Cell lines expressing the human metabotropic glutamate receptor subtype 5a (hmGluR5a) and hmGluR1b were used as targets in an automated high-throughput screening (HTS) system that measures changes in intracellular Ca2+ ([Ca2+]i) using fluorescence detection. This functional screen was used to
