|---|---|
| Synonyms | dcg iv |
| Description | DCG-IV is a potent agonist of group II mGluRs with EC50s of 0.35 and 0.09 μM for mGlu2R and mGlu3R, reapectively. DCG-IV is also a competitive antagonist at group I (IC50: mGlu1R/5R=389/630 μM) and III receptors (IC50: mGlu4R/6R/7R/8R= 22.5/39.6/40.1/32 μM). DCG-IV has anticonvulsive and neuroprotective effects[1][2]. |

| In Vitro | DCG-IV is also an NMDA receptor agonist in the rat cortical slice[3]. |
| In Vivo | DCG-IV (1-10 mg/kg; i.p.) depresses the phencyclidine (PCP)-induced hyperlocomotion[4]. Animal Model: Male ICR mice weighing about 40 g (PCP-induced locomotor activity)[4] Dosage: 10, 5, or 1 mg/kg Administration: I.p. Result: Reduced spontaneous activities of the animals at 10 or 5 mg/kg. |
