The first probe molecule (ML397) was discovered after a high-throughput screening campaign of the original Molecular Libraries Small Molecule Repository (MLSMR) library. ML397 is equipotent as a PAM against mGlu7, mGlu8 and mGlu4 and is selective against Group I and Group II mGlu receptors as well as against the EuroFins Lead Profiling Screen. This probe is unique in that it is peripherally restricted, which allows for distinction from other PAMs or agonists of the Group III mGlus. The second probe molecule (ML396) was discovered after a screen of Vanderbilt's Center for Neuroscience Drug Discovery mGlu4-biased library and is related to a previous ML probe for mGlu4, ML128. ML396 is more potent (100 nM against mGlu7, mGlu8 and mGlu4) and displays good brain penetration. By virtue of possessing activity at all group III receptors but not groups I and II, we will be able to use these tools to identify common allosteric binding sites among these receptors which are important targets for drug discovery. Additionally, by capitalizing on a synapse in the hippocampus that exclusively expresses mGlu7, we have validated that each of these probes potentiate agonist responses in a native tissue preparation." /><meta name="og:title" content="The discovery and characterization of a centrally penetrant (ML396) and a peripherally restricted (ML397) pan-Group III mGlu positive allosteric modulators" /><meta name="og:type" content="book" /><meta name="og:description" content="Herein we report the discovery and characterization of two, structurally distinct, positive allosteric modulators (PAM) of the Group III metabotropic glutamate receptors (mGlus).

The first probe molecule (<a href="/pcsubstance/?term=ML397[synonym]" ref="pagearea=abstract&amp;targetsite=entrez&amp;targetcat=term&amp;targettype=pubchem">ML397</a>) was discovered after a high-throughput screening campaign of the original Molecular Libraries Small Molecule Repository (MLSMR) library. <a href="/pcsubstance/?term=ML397[synonym]" ref="pagearea=abstract&amp;targetsite=entrez&amp;targetcat=term&amp;targettype=pubchem">ML397</a> is equipotent as a PAM against mGlu<sub>7</sub>, mGlu<sub>8</sub> and mGlu<sub>4</sub> and is selective against Group I and Group II mGlu receptors as well as against the EuroFins Lead Profiling Screen. This probe is unique in that it is peripherally restricted, which allows for distinction from other PAMs or agonists of the Group III mGlus. The second probe molecule (<a href="/pcsubstance/?term=ML396[synonym]" ref="pagearea=abstract&amp;targetsite=entrez&amp;targetcat=term&amp;targettype=pubchem">ML396</a>) was discovered after a screen of Vanderbilt's Center for Neuroscience Drug Discovery mGlu<sub>4</sub>-biased library and is related to a previous ML probe for mGlu<sub>4</sub>, <a href="/pcsubstance/?term=ML128[synonym]" ref="pagearea=abstract&amp;targetsite=entrez&amp;targetcat=term&amp;targettype=pubchem">ML128</a>. <a href="/pcsubstance/?term=ML396[synonym]" ref="pagearea=abstract&amp;targetsite=entrez&amp;targetcat=term&amp;targettype=pubchem">ML396</a> is more potent (&#x0223c;100 nM against mGlu<sub>7</sub>, mGlu<sub>8</sub> and mGlu<sub>4</sub>) and displays good brain penetration. By virtue of possessing activity at all group III receptors but not groups I and II, we will be able to use these tools to identify common allosteric binding sites among these receptors which are important targets for drug discovery. Additionally, by capitalizing on a synapse in the hippocampus that exclusively expresses mGlu<sub>7</sub>, we have validated that each of these probes potentiate agonist responses in a native tissue preparation.</p></div><div class="h2"></div><p><b>Assigned Assay Grant #:</b> R03 NS053536-01</p><p><b>Screening Center Name &#x00026; PI:</b> Vanderbilt Screening Center for GPCRs, Ion Channels, and Transporters/Vanderbilt Center for Neuroscience Drug Discovery, David Weaver</p><p><b>Chemistry Center Name &#x00026; PI:</b> Vanderbilt Specialized Chemistry Center for Accelerated Probe Development, Craig W.

It is important to note that no PAMs of mGlu<sub>7</sub> have yet been reported and, for <i>in vitro</i> based structure function studies, both probes represent invaluable tools as well as important positive controls for screens of new modulators of mGlu<sub>7</sub> and mGlu<sub>8</sub> that are now ongoing at Vanderbilt. <a href="/pcsubstance/?term=ML396[synonym]" ref="pagearea=body&amp;targetsite=entrez&amp;targetcat=term&amp;targettype=pubchem">ML396</a> is particularly interesting, as it possesses approximately 100 nanomolar activity at each of the group III mGlus but also exerts limited cooperativity with orthosteric agonist; compounds with this profile are predicted to have high affinity for their targets, suggesting a path forward for eventual radioligand development. Additionally, we have performed extensive studies showing that mGlu<sub>7</sub> is the only presynaptic metabotropic glutamate receptor expressed at the Shaffer Collateral-CA1 synapse in the hippocampus. Coupled with a more selective mGlu<sub>7</sub> orthosteric agonist, we have shown that both of these PAMs significant potentiate agonist-induced inhibition of synaptic transmission, further validating a unique role for mGlu<sub>7</sub> at this synapse. As hippocampal synaptic plasticity underlies certain forms of learning and memory, these new tools are allowing us to explore the potential of mGlu<sub>7</sub> potentiation in affecting synaptic plasticity, providing validation for mGlu<sub>7</sub> PAMs in improving learning and memory.

Cell plates and compound plates were loaded onto a Hamamatsu FDSS 6000 or 7000 kinetic imaging plate reader. Baseline readings were taken (10 images at 1 Hz, excitation, 470&#x000b1;20 nm emission, 540&#x000b1;30 nm) and test compounds were added in a 20 &#x003bc;l volume and incubated for 2.5 minutes prior to the addition of 10 &#x003bc;l of Thallium Buffer &#x000b1; agonist. After the addition of agonist, data were collected for an additional 2 min. Data were analyzed using Microsoft Excel. Raw data were opened in Excel and each data point in a given trace was divided by the first data point from that trace (static ratio). For experiments in which PAMs were added, data were again normalized by dividing each point by the fluorescence value immediately before the agonist addition to correct for any subtle differences in the baseline traces after the compound incubation period. The slope of the fluorescence increase beginning five seconds after thallium/agonist addition and ending fifteen seconds after thallium/agonist addition was calculated. Curves were fitted using a four point logistical equation using GraphPad Prism (La Jolla, CA). For fold shift experiments, a 10 &#x003bc;M concentration of compound was applied two minutes prior to a full agonist concentration-response (either glutamate for mGlu<sub>4</sub> and mGlu<sub>8</sub> or L-AP4 for mGlu<sub>7</sub>).

After establishment of a fluorescence baseline for 4 seconds (4 images at 1 Hz; excitation, 470 &#x000b1; 20 nm; emission, 540 &#x000b1; 30 nm), 20 &#x003bc;l of test compounds were added to the cells, and the response was measured. 142 seconds later, 10 &#x003bc;l (5&#x000d7;) of an EC<sub>20</sub> concentration of glutamate was added to the cells, and the response of the cells was measured; after an additional 120 seconds, 12 &#x003bc;l (5&#x000d7;) of an EC<sub>80</sub> concentration of agonist was added and readings taken for an additional 40 seconds. Calcium fluorescence was recorded as fold over basal fluorescence and raw data were normalized to the maximal response to glutamate. Potency (EC<sub>50</sub>) and maximum response (% Glu Max) for compounds were determined using a four parameter logistical equation in GraphPad Prism (La Jolla, CA). For efficacy experiments, a constant amount of compound was applied prior to the addition of a full glutamate concentration-response curve and the left shift of the EC<sub>50</sub> of the curves was calculated as &#x0201c;fold shift&#x0201d;.</p></div><div id="ml397.s7"><h3>Selectivity testing</h3><p>Selectivity testing across the mGlus was performed as described in Niswender et al. 2008 and Jones et al., 2012 [<a class="bk_pop" href="#ml397.r1">1</a>, <a class="bk_pop" href="#ml397.r2">2</a>].</p></div><div id="ml397.s8"><h3>DMPK Methods</h3><p><u>In vitro:</u> The metabolism of <a href="/pcsubstance/?term=ML396[synonym]" ref="pagearea=body&amp;targetsite=entrez&amp;targetcat=term&amp;targettype=pubchem">ML396</a> and <a href="/pcsubstance/?term=ML397[synonym]" ref="pagearea=body&amp;targetsite=entrez&amp;targetcat=term&amp;targettype=pubchem">ML397</a> was investigated in human, rat and mouse hepatic microsomes (BD Biosciences, Billerica, MA) using substrate depletion methodology (% test article remaining).

Discussion</h2><div id="ml397.s17"><h3>4.1. Comparison to existing art and how the new probes are an improvement</h3><p>There are no known positive allosteric modulators of mGlu<sub>7</sub>, nor are there any pan-Group III PAMs. As such, <a href="/pcsubstance/?term=ML396[synonym]" ref="pagearea=body&amp;targetsite=entrez&amp;targetcat=term&amp;targettype=pubchem">ML396</a> and <a href="/pcsubstance/?term=ML397[synonym]" ref="pagearea=body&amp;targetsite=entrez&amp;targetcat=term&amp;targettype=pubchem">ML397</a> represent critically important advances for the field. The fact that both of these compounds potentiate multiple receptors within the mGlu family, but not the group I and group II receptors, suggest a common and unappreciated binding site on the group III receptor proteins that is not shared with other members of the receptor family. The two compounds do exhibit different in vitro profiles, PK properties and are of different structures. The lack of selectivity among the group III receptors is actually of value for certain <i>in vitro</i> pharmacology experiments, as there are no existing mGlu<sub>7</sub> PAMs and only one mGlu<sub>8</sub> PAM that has been reported in the literature. The ability of a ligand to interact with multiple receptors will now allow us to perform structure-function studies across the group III receptors to identify and characterize a common allosteric binding site. Additionally, a new and exciting area that we and others are pursuing are studies to characterize heterodimerization between various subunits of the mGlus [<a class="bk_pop" href="#ml397.r3">3</a>-<a class="bk_pop" href="#ml397.r5">5</a>]; tools that bind <i>in vitro</i> with one or multiple receptors will now be critically important for advancing our understanding of how mGlus interact in heterodimeric format and how these interactions impact pharmacology.</p></div><div id="ml397.s18"><h3>4.2. Mechanism of Action Studies</h3><p>These classes of Group III mGlu PAMs increase the efficacy of orthosteric agonists (glutamate and L-AP4) for mGlu<sub>4,7,8</sub>. These compounds do not interact with the group I and group II mGlus and possess very clean profiles in the Ricerca lead profiling screen. Additionally, these compounds potentiate mGlu<sub>7</sub> responses in a native tissue preparation, resulting in clearly measurable electrophysiological changes.</p></div><div id="ml397.s19"><h3>4.3. Efficacy in Cell-Based Assays</h3><p>The primary screening assays for mGlu<sub>7</sub>, mGlu<sub>8</sub>, and mGlu<sub>4</sub> are cell-based assay, indicating that <a href="/pcsubstance/?term=ML396[synonym]" ref="pagearea=body&amp;targetsite=entrez&amp;targetcat=term&amp;targettype=pubchem">ML396</a> and <a href="/pcsubstance/?term=ML397[synonym]" ref="pagearea=body&amp;targetsite=entrez&amp;targetcat=term&amp;targettype=pubchem">ML397</a> can gain access to its molecular target when applied to cells.
