GRN-529
GRN-529 is a drug that was developed by Wyeth as a negative [allosteric modulator] of the metabotropic [glutamate receptor 5].
A study conducted by Pfizer found that GRN-529 reduced repetitive behaviors without sedation and partially increased sociability in mouse models of autism.
Another study conducted by Pfizer found a therapeutically relevant effect in animal [models of depression]. It is theorized to work by reducing glutamate receptor hyperactivity.
