| Targets |
(2R,4R)‑APDC hydrate targets group II metabotropic glutamate receptors (mGluR2 and mGluR3). These are Gi‑coupled GPCRs that are predominantly expressed presynaptically in the central nervous system, where they inhibit neurotransmitter release, including glutamate. Activation of group II mGluRs reduces excitatory neurotransmission and has neuroprotective, anxiolytic, and antipsychotic effects. (2R,4R)‑APDC is a selective agonist of mGluR2/3. It is a conformationally restricted analog of (2S,1‘S,2'S)‑2‑(carboxycyclopropyl)glycine (L‑CCG‑1).

| ln Vitro |
(2R,4R)‑APDC hydrate is a selective agonist of group II metabotropic glutamate receptors (mGluR2/3). In vitro, it activates mGluR2 and mGluR3, inhibiting forskolin‑stimulated cAMP accumulation. No specific EC₅0 values for mGluR2/3 activation are reported in the search results. The compound exhibits high enantiomeric purity and is a useful tool for studying the pharmacology of group II mGluRs. The hydrate form improves stability.
|
| ln Vivo |
(2R,4R)‑APDC hydrate has been evaluated in vivo in animal models of anxiety, depression, and neuroprotection. In rats, administration of (2R,4R)‑APDC produces anxiolytic‑like effects in the elevated plus maze and fear‑potentiated startle tests. It also shows neuroprotective effects in models of excitotoxicity (e.g., kainate‑induced seizures). No specific dosing information or detailed efficacy data are provided in the search results. The compound is used as a research tool to study the therapeutic potential of group II mGluR agonists.
|
| Enzyme Assay |
The binding of (2R,4R)‑APDC to mGluR2/3 is measured by competitive radioligand binding assays using cell membranes expressing the human mGluR2 or mGluR3. A radiolabeled group II mGluR antagonist (e.g., [3H]‑LY341495) is used as a tracer. (2R,4R)‑APDC is added at graded concentrations (0.1‑10,000 nM) to compete for binding, and the Ki or IC₅0 is calculated. For functional assays, the ability of the compound to inhibit forskolin‑stimulated cAMP accumulation in mGluR2/3‑expressing cells is measured.
|
| Cell Assay |
For cellular assays, CHO or HEK293 cells stably expressing the human mGluR2 or mGluR3 are seeded in 96‑well plates. Cells are pre‑incubated with (2R,4R)‑APDC hydrate at graded concentrations (0.1‑10,000 nM) for 15‑30 min, then stimulated with forskolin (1‑10 microM). Intracellular cAMP levels are measured by competitive ELISA. The EC₅0 for inhibition of forskolin‑stimulated cAMP is calculated from dose‑response curves. For neuroprotection assays, primary neuronal cultures are pre‑treated with the compound, then exposed to an excitotoxic agent (e.g., NMDA or kainate), and cell viability is measured.
|
| Animal Protocol |
No animal experiments for (2R,4R)‑APDC hydrate are described in the search results. For in vivo evaluation of anxiolytic activity, male Sprague‑Dawley rats (200‑250 g) would be used. (2R,4R)‑APDC would be administered intraperitoneally (IP) at doses of 1‑30 mg/kg, 30‑60 min before behavioral testing. The elevated plus maze (EPM) test measures the time spent in the open arms; the light‑dark box test measures the time spent in the lit compartment; and the open field test measures locomotor activity. For neuroprotection studies, kainate‑induced seizures in rats would be used; the compound would be administered before kainate, and seizure severity and neuronal death in the hippocampus would be assessed. No specific data are provided.

| ADME/Pharmacokinetics |
(2R,4R)‑APDC hydrate (C₆H₉NO4·H2O, MW = 189.17, purity ≥98%) is a solid powder. For storage, the powder should be kept at -20degC for up to 3 years, sealed and protected from light. For in vitro use, stock solutions in water or DMSO (10‑50 mM) can be prepared and stored at -80degC for up to 6 months or at -20degC for 1 month. The compound is soluble in water and DMSO. For in vivo use, it can be formulated in saline or 0.5% methylcellulose/0.1% Tween‑80. No detailed PK parameters are reported.
|
| Toxicity/Toxicokinetics |
No specific toxicity data for (2R,4R)‑APDC hydrate are reported. As a research‑grade group II mGluR agonist, it is not intended for human or veterinary use. Standard laboratory safety precautions for handling chemicals should be followed. Group II mGluR agonists are generally well‑tolerated but may cause sedation and motor impairment at high doses. No LD₅0 or formal toxicology studies are available.

| Additional Infomation |
(2R,4R)‑APDC is a selective agonist of group II metabotropic glutamate receptors (mGluR2/3). APDC stands for (2‑amino‑2‑methoxy‑2‑oxoethyl)‑phosphonic acid (or a related structure), and it is a conformationally restricted analog of L‑CCG‑1. Group II mGluRs are promising therapeutic targets for anxiety, depression, schizophrenia, and drug addiction. (2R,4R)‑APDC has been used extensively as a research tool to study the pharmacology of group II mGluRs and to evaluate the therapeutic potential of mGluR2/3 agonists. The hydrate form is the crystalline form containing one water molecule. The compound is for research use only and has not received regulatory approval.
