- Product Overview:
Metabotropic glutamate receptors (mGluRs), mediate excitatory synaptic transmission in the central nervous system. Potent and selective antagonists of the type I mGluRs (mGluR1 and mGluR5) are of interest as novel therapeutics for the treatment of various CNS disorders, such as pain, epilepsy, and stroke.{21993,21995} NPS 2390 is a first generation quinoxaline derivative that acts as a noncompetitive antagonist of mGluR1 and mGluR5 with IC50 values equal to 5.2 and 82 nM, respectively).{21992} At concentrations up to 30 ?M, NPS 2390 does not affect mGluR2 or mGluR8 or a standard collection of 37 additional receptors, ion channels, and enzymes.{21992} At a dose of 10 mg/kg, NPS 2390 displaced the specifically bound mGlu1R-selective antagonist, [3H]R214127, in rat cerebellum.{21994}
Cayman Chemical’s mission is to help make research possible by supplying scientists worldwide with the basic research tools necessary for advancing human and animal health. Our utmost commitment to healthcare researchers is to offer the highest quality products with an affordable pricing policy.
Our scientists are experts in the synthesis, purification, and characterization of biochemicals ranging from small drug-like heterocycles to complex biolipids, fatty acids, and many others. We are also highly skilled in all aspects of assay and antibody development, protein expression, crystallization, and structure determination.
Over the past thirty years, Cayman developed a deep knowledge base in lipid biochemistry, including research involving the arachidonic acid cascade, inositol phosphates, and cannabinoids. This knowledge enabled the production of reagents of exceptional quality for cancer, oxidative injury, epigenetics, neuroscience, inflammation, metabolism, and many additional lines of research.
Our organic and analytical chemists specialize in the rapid development of manufacturing processes and analytical methods to carry out clinical and commercial GMP-API production. Pre-clinical drug discovery efforts are currently underway in the areas of bone restoration and repair, muscular dystrophy, oncology, and inflammation. A separate group of Ph.D.-level scientists are dedicated to offering Hit-to-Lead Discovery and Profiling Services for epigenetic targets. Our knowledgeable chemists can be contracted to perform complete sample analysis for analytes measured by the majority of our assays. We also offer a wide range of analytical services using LC-MS/MS, HPLC, GC, and many other techniques.
