Notes: LSN2463359 is a positive allosteric modulator of the metabotropic glutamate receptor 5 (mGluR5; EC50 = 24 nM).{34519} It is without effect at other mGluRs. LSN2463359 is brain penetrant and reverses learning deficits in a rat model of schizophrenia.{34519,34521} Through its effects on mGluR5, LSN2463359 attenuates deficits in performance in operant behavior induced by SDZ-220581, an NMDA (Item No. 14581) receptor antagonist, in rats.{34520,34521} It also promotes wakefulness in animals.{34521}
