CTEP, CAS No. 871362-31-1, is a highly potent, selective and orally bioavailable allosteric antagonist of mGlu5 receptor with an IC50 of 2.2 nM. It shows >1000-fold selectivity against 103 targets, including all known mGlu receptors. CTEP can penetrate the brain with a brain/plasma ratio of 2.6. CTEP is active in the stress-induced hyperthermia procedure in mice and the Vogel conflict drinking test in rats with minimal effective doses of 0.1 and 0.3 mg/kg, respectively, reflecting a 30- to 100-fold higher in vivo potency compared with 2-methyl- 6-(phenylethynyl)pyridine (MPEP) and fenobam. CTEP is the first reported mGlu5 inhibitor with both long half-life of approximately 18 h and high oral bioavailability allowing chronic treatment with continuous receptor blockade with one dose every 48 h in adult and newborn animals. Acute CTEP treatment corrects elevated hippocampal long-term depression, protein synthesis, and audiogenic seizures. Chronic treatment that inhibits mGlu5 within a receptor occupancy range of 81% ± 4% rescues cognitive deficits, auditory hypersensitivity, aberrant dendritic spine density, overactive ERK and mTOR signaling, and partially corrects macroorchidism. By enabling long-term treatment through a wide age range, CTEP allows the exploration of the full therapeutic potential of mGlu5 inhibitors for indications requiring chronic receptor inhibition.

How to use

In Vitro:

CTEP was used at 0.03-0.1 µM final concentration in vitro and in cellular assays.

In Vivo:

CTEP was orally dosed to mice at single 0.1-1.0 mg/kg, or with a dose of 2 mg/kg orally every 48 h for 2 months. CTEP was orally dose at 2 mg/kg BID achieves uninterrupted mGlu5 occupancy per 48 hours in mice.
