VU6005649 is an agonist of CNS penetrant mGlu7/8 receptor (EC50s: 0.65 μM and 2.6 μM for mGlu7 receptor and mGlu8 receptor, respectively).

JNJ-42153605 is a mGlu2 receptor positive allosteric modulator (EC50: 17 nM).

VU0361737 (ML-128) is a specific positive allosteric modulator (PAM) of the mGlu4 receptor with an EC50 of 240 nM for human receptors and 110 nM for rat receptors. It exhibits weak activity at mGlu5 and mGlu8 receptors and is inactive at mGlu1, mGlu2, mGlu3, mGlu6, and mGlu7 receptors. The compound can penetrate the CNS.

ML254 competitively interacts with the MPEP allosteric binding site. ML254 is highly selective for mGlu5 versus other mGlu receptors, has a clean ancillary Ricerca profile, and suitable dystrophia myotonica protein kinase (DMPK) properties for systemic dosing in rodents.

VU0155094 (ML 397) is a positive allosteric modulator with differential activity at the various group III mGluRs.

AZD-8529 mesylate is a highly selective, and orally bioavailable positive allosteric modulator of mGluR2 (EC50: 285 nM). It shows no positive allosteric modulator responses at 20-25 M on the mGluR1, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8 subtypes.

Basimglurant (CTEP Derivative) is a potent, selective and orally available modulator of mGlu5 negative allosteric(Kd of 1.1 nM).

VU0650786 is a selective and potent CNS-penetrant negative allosteric modulator of metabotropic glutamate receptor subtype 3 (mGlu3 NAM) (IC50: 392 nM), exhibiting antidepressant and anxiolytic activity in rodents.
