Rat cortical mGluR is affected by E4CPG, which has a KB value of 0.367 mM[3].
(RS)-α-ethyl-4-carboxyphenylglycine (ECPG) (tested at 1 mM) showed antagonist activity against L-glutamate (10 µM)-induced inositol phosphate (IP) formation in Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells expressing mGluR1, partially inhibiting the response. [1] At the same concentration (1 mM), ECPG also partially antagonized the L-glutamate (20 µM)-mediated inhibition of forskolin-stimulated cyclic AMP formation in CHO cells expressing mGluR2. [1] ECPG (1 mM) showed no agonist or antagonist activity on mGluR6 expressed in CHO cells. [1] |
| ln Vivo |
Significant inhibition of glutamate injection (i.pl.) induced nociception was observed with E4CPG (3-30 nmol/site (it), 1-10 μmol/paw (i.pl.), and 1-10 nmol/site (icv)). The maximum inhibitory values of E4CPG's antinociception in glutamate-induced nociception were 48% (i.pl.), 49% (it), and 40% (icv) [4]. In male Sprague-Dawley rats, long-term depression (LTD) induced by the group I mGluR agonist dihydroxyphenylglycine (DHPG, 100 nM/5 μL, icv) is completely blocked by E4CPG (35 nM/3.5 μL, icv) [ 5].

| Cell Assay |
For agonist/antagonist activity determination on mGluR1, CHO cells stably expressing mGluR1 were used. Cells were incubated with test compounds (e.g., 1 mM ECPG) for 20 minutes, followed by co-incubation with L-glutamate (10 µM) in the continued presence of the test compound for another 20 minutes. Total inositol phosphate formation was then measured as an indicator of receptor activity. [1]
For agonist/antagonist activity determination on mGluR2 and mGluR6, CHO cells stably expressing these receptors were used. Cells were preincubated with test compounds (e.g., 1 mM ECPG) for 20 minutes, followed by co-incubation with L-glutamate (20 µM for mGluR2, 30 or 100 µM for mGluR6) and forskolin (10 µM) in the continued presence of the test compound for 10 minutes. Intracellular cyclic AMP levels were then measured. [1] Control experiments using endothelin receptor ETA-expressing cells (for IP assay) and vector-transfected cells (for cyclic AMP assay) confirmed that the effects of active compounds (including ECPG) were mediated via mGluRs and not through direct interference with intracellular signaling machinery.

| Additional Infomation |
(RS)-α-ethyl-4-carboxyphenylglycine (ECPG) is a phenylglycine derivative. Its parent compound, (S)-4-carboxyphenylglycine (4CPG), is an mGluR2 agonist and mGluR1 antagonist. α-ethylation of 4CPG (to generate ECPG) transforms its agonist activity on mGluR2 into antagonist activity, making it a dual antagonist of both mGluR1 and mGluR2. [1] This study suggests that substitution (methylation or ethylation) on the α-carbon of a carboxyphenylglycine derivative plays a key role in determining its agonist or antagonist properties on mGluR2. [1]
Previous studies have reported that ECPG has antagonistic activity against IP generation stimulated by (1S,3R)-ACPD in rat cerebral cortex slices, consistent with its mGluR1 antagonist properties identified in this recombinant cell system. [1] |
