MedKoo CAT#: 574318

CAS#: 63540-28-3

Description: Fenobam hydrate is a noncompetitive antagonist and inverse agonist of metabotropic glutamate receptor 5 (mGluR5). It inhibits intracellular calcium mobilization induced by the glutamate analog quisqualate and inhibits basal activity of mGluR5. Fenobam reduces stress-induced hyperthermia, exhibits anxiolytic-like activity, and may induce analgesia.

Biological target: A noncompetitive antagonist and inverse agonist of mGluR5.
In vitro activity: By contrast, single treatment with fenobam rarely produced significant protection against DNA damage. From these results, it is suggested that fenobam promotes the protective effect of PEP-1-FK506BP against H2O2-inducedoxidative stress in C6 cells. Reference: BMB Rep. 2013 Nov; 46(11): 561–566. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4133844/
In vivo activity: Both fenobam and MPEP induced preference in the SNI mice, such that SNI mice spent significantly more time in the mGluR5 antagonist-paired chamber compared to a vehicle-paired chamber.
