(S)-MCPG ((+)-MCPG) is a potent group I/II metabotropic glutamate receptor (mGluRs) antagonist and the active isomer of (RS)-MCPG . (S)-MCPG can be used for the study of the function of mGluRs in spatial learning.
体外研究
(S)-MCPG (100 μM) has no detectable effects on basal spine formation or elimination mechanisms in WT slice cultures. (S)-MCPG prevents the increase in spine turnover triggered by TBS and interferes with the mechanisms of activity-dependent spine stabilization in Hippocampal slice cultures.
体内研究
MCPG (intraventricular injection; 20 μg) treated rat are slower to learn the task and takes longer to reach the platform than vehicle injected animals. On days 2 and 3, MCPG rats has a significant longer escape latency and the measure of search error is significantly longer on each of the first 3 days. On day 4, MCPG-treated animals reaches the same level of performance as control animals in Morris water maze.
Animal Model:
Male Lister-Hooded rats in the learning of the Morris water maze
Dosage:
20 μg
Administration:
Intraventricular injection; 20 μg; 4 days
Result:
Impaired the performance of rats in the spatial version of the Morris water maze, but 1/10 of this dose did not.
