VU6066098
VU6066098 is a blood-brain barrier penetrant, orally active inhibitor of metabotropic glutamate receptor subtype 2 (mGlu2), with IC50 values of 77 nM and 111 nM against human and rat targets, respectively. VU6066098 induces antidepressant-like activity, inhibits psychosis-like hyperlocomotion, enhances recognition memory and associative learning, and reverses cognitive deficits caused by blast-related traumatic brain injury. VU6066098 can be used in research on major depressive disorder, schizophrenia, Alzheimer's disease, and traumatic brain injury.

Biological Activity
VU6066098 potently and selectively inhibits human mGlu2 receptors in an mGlu2/GIRK assay with an IC50 of 77 nM, while showing no significant activity against most other human mGlu receptor subtypes[1].
VU6066098 inhibits human mGlu2 receptor activity in a cAMP assay with an IC50 of 114 nM[1].
VU6066098 potently inhibits rat mGlu2 receptors with an IC50 of 111 nM, while showing no significant activity against most other rat mGlu receptor subtypes[1].

VU6066098 (5.6-56.6 mg/kg; p.o.; single dose) exhibits antipsychotic-like activity in rats with an oral minimum effective dose of 30 mg/kg, reversing amphetamine-induced hyperlocomotion in a dose-dependent manner[1].
VU6066098 (1-10 mg/kg; p.o.; single dose) enhances long-term recognition memory in rats with an oral minimum effective dose of 3 mg/kg, producing a robust improvement in recognition index[1].
VU6066098 (0.1-1 mg/kg; p.o.; single dose) enhances associative learning and long-term memory in rats with an oral minimum effective dose of 0.3 mg/kg, increasing percent freezing behavior in contextual fear conditioning[1].
VU6066098 (10 mg/kg; i.p.; daily; 2 days) reverses cognitive deficits in a rat blast-related TBI model when administered at 10 mg/kg i.p. for 2 days, with effects lasting up to 30 days post-dose[1].
