Sample solution is provided at 25 µL, 10mM.
MPEP is a noncompetitive, selective, potent, orally active and systemically active mGlu5 receptor antagonist, with an IC50 of 36nM for completely inhibiting quisqualate-stimulated phosphoinositide (PI) hydrolysis[1]. MPEP has anxiolytic-or antidepressant-like effects[2] and is usually used in the study of neurological disorders, such as fragile X syndrome[3] and epilepsy[4] .
In vitro, pretreatment of MN9D cells with 10μM MPEP 30min prior to rotenone exposure reversed the increase in p-PERK and γ -H2AX expression levels and alleviated the decrease in tyrosine hydroxylase induced by rotenone treatment[5] .
In vivo, intraperitoneal injection of MPEP(30mg/kg; 3days) lowered alcohol consumption during Drinking in the Dark (DID) in male and female C57BL/6 mice without changes in Homer2/Erk2 expression[6] . Intraperitoneal injection of MPEP (3 mg/kg, 30min) facilitates amphetamine-induced effects independently on the behavior measured both in naïve and in dopamine lesioned mice[7].

| Cell experiment [1]: | |
Cell lines | MN9D cells |
Preparation Method | MN9D cells were pretreated with 10μM MPEP for 30min followed by different concentration of rotenone or (RS)-2-chloro-5- hydroxyphenylglycine (CHPG) treatment for indicated time. The expression levels of p-PERK, γ -H2AX and tyrosine hydroxylase were detected by Western blot. |
Reaction Conditions | 10μM; 30min |
Applications | MPEP reversed the increase in p-PERK and γ -H2AX expression levels and alleviated the decrease in tyrosine hydroxylase induced by rotenone treatment. |
| Animal experiment [2]: | |
Animal models | C57BL/6NCrl mice |
Preparation Method | The animals used in this study were male and female C57BL/6NCrl mice purchased from Charles River Laboratories (Strain Code #027) at seven weeks of age. Upon delivery, mice were singly housed with food ad libitum. Water was provided ad libitum via a water bottle except for during the Drinking in the Dark (DID) sessions. A 20% ethanol drinking solution for the DID experiments was made with 200 proof ethanol diluted with tap water (v/v) and used within 24h. MPEP was dissolved in saline and injected i.p. at 10 ml/kg body weight. A range of doses from 0–30mg/kg MPEP were used in these studies. After the completion of the final MPEP dose the animals continued on DID for three days to test for blood ethanol concentrations. |
Dosage form | 0–30mg/kg for 3days; i.p. |
Applications | 30mg/kg MPEP lowered alcohol consumption during DID in male and female C57BL/6 mice without changes in Homer2/Erk2 expression. |
