Optical Activity ( + / - )

3,5-dihydroxyphenylglycine (3,5-DHPG) was the first agonist shown to be specific to the group I metabotropic glutamate receptors, mGluR1 and mGluR5 with its agonist effects residing exclusively in the S-isomer. Some studies suggested a therapeutic role for (S)-3,5-DHPG in neuronal injury, regulation of intestinal motility and secretion, learning and memory processes and in the cardiovascular system. (S)-3,5-DHPG may be useful as a cognitive enhancing agent in memory impairment associated with ischemia or hypoxia.

Sample Use Guides

Administered i.c.v. to mice, (S)-3,5-dihydroxyphenyl-glycine ((S)-3,5-DHPG) produced a behavioral syndrome consisting of scratching and/or facial grooming, tremors, slow forelimb clonus, rearing, and falling that increased over the dose range of 10-400 nmol.

In Vitro Use Guide
Curator's Comment: 3,5-dihydroxyphenylglycine was potent and effective in increasing phosphoinositide hydrolysis in both adult and neonatal hippocampus but unlike the other mGluR agonists did not inhibit forskolin-stimulated cAMP formation (in the adult) or substantially enhance basal cAMP formation (in the neonate).
