L-AP4 (L-APB) monohydrate is a potent and specific agonist for the group III mGluRs, with EC 50 s of 0.13, 0.29, 1.0, 249 μM for mGlu 4 , mGlu 8 , mGlu 6 and mGlu 7 receptors, respectively.

体内研究(In Vivo)
L-AP4 (5-30 μg, intrathecal inhection 4-5 days) significantly increases the paw withdrawal threshold in response to application of von Frey filaments in eight nerve-ligated rats in a dose-dependent manner. Intrathecal administration of different doses of L-AP4 is not associated with any evident motor dysfunction.
Intrathecal injection of 30 μg of L-AP4 does not significantly alter the paw withdrawal latency in these normal rats.
Topical application of 5 to 50 μM L-AP4 to the spinal cord significantly inhibited the evoked response of neurons to touch, pressure, pinch, and von Frey filaments in a concentration-dependent fashion. has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.
