|---|---|
| Synonyms: | 2-methyl-6-(phenylethynyl)pyridine, 6-Methyl-2-(phenylethynyl)pyridine, MPEP |
| Definition: | A methylpyridine that coinsists of 2-methylp[yridine bearing an additional phenylethynyl group at position 6. Potent and highly selective non-competitive antagonist at the mGlu5 receptor subtype (IC50 = 36 nM) and a positive allosteric modulator at mGlu4 receptors. Centrally active following systemic administration in vivo. Reverses mechanical hyperalgesia in the inflamed rat hind paw. |
