LY3020371hydrochloride exerts an antidepressant-like signature in vivo. LY3020371hydrochloride is a potent, selective metabotropic glutamate 2 3 receptor (mGlu2 3) antagonist with Ki of 5.3 and 2.5 nM, potently blocks cAMP formation with IC50 of 16.2 nM.
LY3027788 hydrochloride is a diester analog of LY3020371, a selective antagonist of the metabotropic glutamate 2 and 3 receptors (mGlu2/3). It serves as a highly potent and orally bioavailable prodrug of LY3020371. Notably, LY3027788 hydrochloride exhibits antidepressant efficacy.
