A potent and subtype-selective agonist for group III metabotropic glutamate receptors. 25-fold higher selectivity for mGlu8 (EC50 =0.21uM ) than for other group III mGlu receptors (EC50 = 5.2, 4.7, and 185uM for mGlu4,6,7, respectively). Widely used as anticonvulsant, antidepressant, anxiolytic, and neuroprotective agent in research.
