| | Modulation of the Metabotropic Glutamate Receptor mGluR4: Selectivity at mGluR7 |
| Description: | Assigned Assay Grant Number: NS053536-01 Screening Center Name & PI: Vanderbilt Screening Center for GPCRs, Ion Channels and Transporters, C. David Weaver Chemistry Center Name & PI: Vanderbilt Specialized Chemistry Center for Accelerated Probe Development, Craig W. Lindsley Assay Submitter & Institution: Colleen M. Niswender, Vanderbilt University The primary pathophysiological change giving rise to the symptoms of Parkinson's disease (PD) is a loss of the dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra pars compacta (SNc) that are involved in modulating the function of basal ganglia (BG) nuclei. Unfortunately, traditional therapies for treatment of PD based on dopamine replacement strategies eventually fail in most patients and are associated with numerous side effects. A great deal of effort has been focused on developing a detailed understanding of the circuitry and function of the BG to develop novel, nondopaminergic, approaches for restoring normal BG function in PD patients. |
