Title

Comparative effects of LY3020371, a potent and selective metabotropic glutamate (mGlu) 2/3 receptor antagonist, and ketamine, a noncompetitive N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor antagonist in rodents: evidence supporting the use of mGlu2/3 antagonists, for the treatment of depression

Overall design

The aim of this study was to compare in vivo biological responses in rodents elicited by a recently discovered mGlu2/3 receptor antagonist (LY3020371) with those produced by ketamine. The metabolomic profiles from rat CSF and hippocampus of ketamine and LY3020371 were compared. Rats were divided into 3 groups: (1) control group, (2) LY group (LY3020371 treatment at single dose of 10 mg/kg i.p.), (3) ketamine group (ketamine treatment at single dose of 10 mg/kg i.p.). Tissue from hippocampus and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) were harvested at 1 hour postdosing. Analytes displayed significant differentiation from those detected in vehicle-treated animals in both CSF and hippocampus were identified using hydrophilic-interaction chromatography-liquid chromatography mass spectrometer discovery platform.
