摘要: Depression and anxiety represent a major problem. However, the current treatment of both groups diseases is not satisfactory. As glutamatergic system may play an important role in pathophysiology depression anxiety, we decided to discuss recent data on possible anxiolytic and/or antidepressant effects metabotropic glutamate (mGlu) receptor ligands. Preclinical indicated that antagonists group I mGlu receptors, particularly mGlu5 produced anxiolytic-like antidepressant-like effects. Clinical also demonstrated antagonist, fenobam, was active drug. The exerted by are profound, comparable with or stronger than those benzodiazepines. problem psychotomimetic activity their influence memory has be further investigated. Among all ligands, II agonists seem drugs most promising therapeutic potential good safety profile. Animal studies showed agonists. Currently, phase III clinical trials for disorders. On other hand, been accumulated, indicating receptors have potential. Group ligands least investigated receptors. preclinical indicates these antagonists,
