| Description: | Activity of compounds of the present invention was examined by determination to what extent the glutamate-induced elevation of the intracellular calcium concentration in L(tk-) cells expressing human mGluR5a receptors (see L. P. Daggett et al., Neuropharm. Vol. 34, pages 871-886, 1995) is inhibited by utilizing methods as described e.g. by L. P. Daggett et al., Neuropharm. Vol. 34, pages 871-886 (1995) and P. J. Flor et al., J. Neurochem. Vol. 67, pages 58-63 (1996). Activity of compounds of the present invention with respect to mGluR1 antagonism was examined by an assay based on measurements of L-glutamate induced intracellular calcium increases using a 96 well plate-based Fluorometric Imaging Plate Reader (FLIPR). |
