LY 354740 is a highly selective and potent mGluR-2/3 (group II mGlu receptor) agonist. LY 354740 may act to be a conformationally constrained analog of glutamate with the ability to decrease forskolin-stimulated cAMP formation by more than 90%. Recent studies have found that activation of presynaptic metabotropic mGluR-2/3 induces long lasting inhibition of P/Q-type Ca2+ channels and the cAMP/protein kinase A pathway.
