EGLU ((2S)-α-Ethylglutamic acid; (2S)-α-EGLU) is a potent and competitive mGluR-2 receptor antagonist. EGLU interacts with (lS,3S)-ACPD-sensitive site with a Kd value of 66 μM. EGLU is an antidepressant agent[1].

In Vitro	EGLU (200 μM) selectively antagonizes (lS,3S)-ACPD-induced depressions of the monosynaptic component of the DRVRP, displaying little or no antagonist activity versus L-AP6 induced depressions or on the DRVRP alone[1].
