LY-341495 explained
LY-341495 is a research drug developed by the pharmaceutical company Eli Lilly, which acts as a potent and selective orthosteric antagonist for the group II metabotropic glutamate receptors (mGluR2/3).[1] [2] [3] [4]
It is used in scientific research in several different areas, showing antidepressant effects in animal models,[5] [6] [7] [8] increasing the behavioural effects of hallucinogenic drugs in animal tests,[9] [10] [11] [12] and increasing the analgesic effects of μ-opioid agonists,[13] [14] as well as modulating dopamine receptor function.[15] [16] [17]
The 1-fluorocyclopropane analog has a superior pharmacokinetic profile and similar mGluR2/3 affinity, and making a prodrug from this with the heptyl ester increases bioavailability still further.[18]
