mavoglurant racemate

Mavoglurant is a novel, non-competitive mGlu5 receptor antagonist. Mavoglurant (racemate) is the racemate of mavoglurant.

Mavoglurant (AFQ056) is a potent, selective, non-competitive, and orally active metabotropic glutamate receptor 5 (mGluR5) antagonist with an IC50 of 30 nM, demonstrating greater than 300-fold selectivity over 238 tested targets, and it is widely applied in research on Fragile X syndrome and L-dopa-induced dyskinesias in Parkinson’s disease, while Mavoglurant incorporated alkyne functional group, which enables copper-catalyzed azide–alkyne cycloaddition click chemistry, facilitating target engagement and molecular tracking studies.
