Uses
Dipraglurant (ADX48621) is a potent, selective, orally active and brain penetrant mGluR5 negative allosteric modulator (NAM), with an IC50 of 21 nM. Dipraglurant can reduce Levodopa-induced dyskinesia (LID) in vivo[1][2]. Dipraglurant is a click chemistry reagent, it contains an Alkyne group and can undergo copper-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition (CuAAc) with molecules containing Azide groups.
in vivo
Dipraglurant (3-30 mg/kg; a single p.o.) reduces L-dopa-induced chorea and dystonia and does not interfere with the efcacy of L-dopa in treating parkinsonian disability macaque[1].
Dipraglurant exhibits Cmax (1.040, 1.380, 5.310 ng/mL) Tmax (1.0, 0.5, 1.0 h) and AUCinf (2.230, 2.860, 15.700) following p.o. administration (3, 10, 30 mg/kg) in macaque[1].
