Abstrakt: mGlu2/3 Receptors (LY354740) in Anxiety mGlu2/3 receptors when activated decrease glutamate excitation on limbic synapses involved in anxiety. The orally active agonist compound LY354740 (or prodrug LY544344) was active in animal and human models of stress/anxiety. Later clinical studies showed efficacy in generalized anxiety in patients, validating this mechanism clinically. However, the compound was terminated due to rodent seizures in long-term toxicology studies.
