A potent agonist for group III mGlu receptor subtype 4, 6, and 8 (EC50 = 1-4, 3, and 2 µM for mGlu4, mGlu6, mGlu8, respectively); but not for subtype 7 (EC50 = 160-1200 µM). Inhibits proliferation and enhances neuronal differentiation in progenitor cells. Widely used to study presynaptic inhibitory modulation of the excitatory glutamatergic transmission at retina and central nervous systems.
Please note that the molecular weight for this compound is batch-specific due to variable water content.
