JNJ-16259685 is an antagonist of metabotropic glutamate receptor 1a (mGluR1a; Ki = 0.34 nM in CHO(dHFr-) cell membranes expressing the rat receptor).1 It is selective for mGluR1a over mGluR5, -2, -3, -4, and -6, as well as a panel of neurotransmitter receptors, ion channels, and transporters, at 10 µM. JNJ-16259685 inhibits glutamate-induced inositol phosphate accumulation in primary rat cerebellar neurons with an IC50 value of 1.73 nM. It increases drinking in the Vogel punished drinking task, indicating anxiolytic-like activity, when administered at doses of 2.5, 5, or 10 mg/kg.2
