- Formula:C14H11N
- Molecular Weight:193.24
IUPAC Name: 2-methyl-6-(phenylethynyl)pyridine
InChIKey: NEWKHUASLBMWRE-UHFFFAOYSA-N
SMILES: CC1=NC(C#CC2=CC=CC=C2)=CC=C1
Biological Activity: MPEP is a potent, selective, noncompetitive, orally active and systemically active mGlu5 receptor antagonist, with an IC50 of 36 nM for completely inhibiting quisqualate-stimulated phosphoinositide (PI) hydrolysis. MPEP has anxiolytic-or antidepressant-like effects[1][2]. MPEP is a click chemistry reagent, it contains an Alkyne group and can undergo copper-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition (CuAAc) with molecules containing Azide groups.
