MPEP hydrochloride: Scientist Approved MPEP hydrochloride product vial image | Hello Bio Biological Data Biological description MPEP hydrochloride is a potent, selective and non-competitive mGlu5 receptor antagonist (IC50 = 36 nM) and also a mGlu4 receptor positive allosteric modulator (PAM).
MPEP also suppresses addiction-like behaviour for cocaine, ethanol and nicotine in various models of addiction. MPEP is blood-brain barrier (BBB) permeable and is active in vivo .
MTEP hydrochloride is also available.
