mGlu2R (EC50 = 0.35 microM) and mGlu3R (EC50 = 0.09 microM). Also is a competitive antagonist at group I mGluRs (IC50: mGlu1R = 389 microM; mGlu5R = 630 microM) and group III mGluRs (IC50: mGlu4R = 22.5 microM, mGlu6R = 39.6 microM, mGlu7R = 40.1 microM, mGlu8R = 32 microM). Also acts as an NMDA receptor agonist in rat cortical slices.

| ln Vitro |
In rat cortical slices, DCG-IV is likewise an NMDA receptor agonist [3].
Potent agonist at mGlu2R (EC50=0.35 microM) and mGlu3R (EC50=0.09 microM). Competitive antagonist at group I (IC50 ~389-630 microM) and group III (IC50 ~22.5-40.1 microM) mGluRs. Also acts as an NMDA receptor agonist in rat cortical slices. These overlapping activities make DCG-IV a useful but complex pharmacological tool. |
| ln Vivo |
Intraperitoneal injection of DCG-IV (1–10 mg/kg) reduces the hypermotility produced by phencyclidine (PCP) [4].
In mice, DCG-IV (1-10 mg/kg; intraperitoneal) depresses phencyclidine (PCP)-induced hyperlocomotion. Specific anticonvulsant or neuroprotective in vivo models are referenced but not detailed in standard summaries. DCG-IV may have protective effects against excitotoxicity, though its NMDA agonist activity could limit its therapeutic window. |
| Enzyme Assay |
Dose-response / animal model: Detailed experimental protocols not provided. PCP-induced locomotor activity in male ICR mice (~40 g): DCG-IV (1, 5, or 10 mg/kg) administered intraperitoneally 30 min before PCP. Locomotor activity measured for 60 min in automated activity chambers (photocell beam breaks). Hyperlocomotion depressed at 5 and 10 mg/kg.
|
| Cell Assay |
Radioligand binding assays: Membranes from CHO cells expressing recombinant rat mGlu receptors (group I, II, III) incubated with [3H]-agonist (e.g., [3H]-glutamate) and varying DCG-IV concentrations. For antagonist mode, [3H]-antagonist (e.g., [3H]-LY341495) used. IC50/Ki values calculated from competitive displacement curves. Not all subtypes have detailed protocols; binding data are typically derived from literature (Brabet et al., 1998).
|
| Animal Protocol |
Animal/Disease Models: Male ICR mice weighing approximately 40 g (PCP-induced locomotor activity) [4]
Doses: 10, 5 or 1 mg/kg Route of Administration: intraperitoneally (ip) (ip) Experimental Results: Animals had diminished spontaneous activity at 10 or 5 mg/kg. Functional GTPgammaS assays: Membranes from CHO cells expressing recombinant mGlu2R/mGlu3R incubated with [3⁵S]-GTPgammaS, GDP, and varying DCG-IV concentrations. Agonist activity measured by increase in [3⁵S]-GTPgammaS binding (G-protein activation). EC50 values for mGlu2R (0.35 microM) and mGlu3R (0.09 microM) derived from concentration-response curves. NMDA receptor agonist activity confirmed in rat cortical slice electrophysiology. |
| ADME/Pharmacokinetics |
PCP-induced hyperlocomotion in mice: Male ICR mice weighing about 40 g. DCG-IV (1, 5, or 10 mg/kg; intraperitoneal) administered 30 minutes before phencyclidine (PCP) injection. Locomotor activity measured for 60 minutes using automated activity chambers (photocell beam breaks). Hyperlocomotion depressed at 5 and 10 mg/kg doses; spontaneous activity reduced at these doses. At 10 mg/kg, hyperlocomotion significantly reduced vs control.
|
| Toxicity/Toxicokinetics |
PK data specific to DCG-IV are not detailed in standard references. As a polar amino acid derivative, it is likely water-soluble and has limited blood-brain barrier penetration following systemic administration. Direct CNS administration (intracerebroventricular, intrathecal, intrastriatal) is often used in studies to achieve brain exposure.

| Additional Infomation |
DCG-IV induces neurotoxicity in a dose-dependent manner in rat brain. Doses as low as 5 nmol cause toxicity (as measured by GAD mRNA and apoptosis), while 0.5 nmol induces no toxicity. At 50 nmol, DCG-IV causes repetitive seizures and selective neuronal damage in cingulate cortex, lateral septum, and hippocampus. Harmful if swallowed; H410 Very toxic to aquatic life with long lasting effects. Precautionary statements: P264 Wash skin thoroughly after handling; P270 Do not eat, drink or smoke when using this product.

*Note: Please select an appropriate solvent for the preparation of stock solution based on your experiment needs. For most products, DMSO can be used for preparing stock solutions (e.g. 5 mM, 10 mM, or 20 mM concentration); some products with high aqueous solubility may be dissolved in water directly. Solubility information is available at the above Solubility Data section. Once the stock solution is prepared, aliquot it to routine usage volumes and store at -20°C or -80°C. Avoid repeated freeze and thaw cycles.
