MTEP hydrochloride product vial image | Hello Bio Biological Data Biological description MTEP hydrochloride is a potent, highly selective and non-competitive mGlu5 receptor antagonist (IC50 = 5 nM and Ki = 16 nM in an in vitro Ca2+ -flux assay).
MTEP has no significant effect on other mGluRs and shows fewer off-target effects than MPEP hydrochloride . MTEP shows ~10-fold greater selectivity for mGlu5 than MPEP.
MTEP also blocks induction of tLTP (timing-dependent long term potentiation) and has antidepressant, anxiolytic and neuroprotective properties.
MTEP is active in vivo .
