Description: Mavoglurant, aslo known as AFQ056, is a potent, selective, non-competitive and orally active mGluR5 antagonist, In vitro, mavoglurant had an IC50 of 30 nM in a functional assay with human mGluR5 and was selective over the other mGluR subtypes, iGluRs and a panel of 238 CNS relevant receptors, transporter or enzymes. In vivo, mavoglurant showed an improved pharmacokinetic profile in rat and efficacy in the stress-induced hyperthermia test in mice as compared to the prototypic mGluR5 antagonist MPEP.

More Info:

Biological target: Mavoglurant (AFQ056) is a potent, selective, non-competitive and orally active mGluR5 antagonist, with an IC50 of 30 nM.
In vitro activity: To determine whether AFQ056 may have secondary effects on the methylation and transcription of FMR1, three FXS lymphoblastoid cell lines and one normal control male line were treated. A quantitative RT-PCR was performed to assess transcriptional reactivation of the FMR1 gene. No FMR1-mRNA increase was observed after treatment with AFQ056 in any of the four cell lines, with respect to the untreated controls. The partial decrease in FMR1 transcription observed in WT at 1 mM AFQ056 after 3 and 8 days of treatment (panel A) was due at least in part to cell mortality. AFQ056 treatment had no effect on methylation, leaving the promoter as methylated as in the untreated controls both WT and FXS (Figure 22). These results demonstrate that the AFQ056 effect on fully methylated FXS patients is not due to a secondary effect on DNA methylation and consequent transcriptional activation of FMR1. Reference: BMC Med Genet. 2012; 13: 13. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3320553/
In vivo activity: In this study, the activity of the metabotropic glutamate receptor-5 (mGluR5) was inhibited using AFQ056/Mavoglurant, a drug that is assumed to normalize excitatory/inhibitory neural signaling imbalances in FXS. Resting-state-fMRI (rs-fMRI) and diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) were employed to test whether Mavoglurant re-established brain connectivity - at least partly - within some of the affected circuits in Fmr1-/y mice that are related to social behavior deficits. In line with previous findings, it was observed that Fmr1/y mice exhibited impaired social interaction, reduced connectivity in three main functional networks and altered network topology. At the group level, Mavoglurant did neither rescue abnormal social behavioral nor white matter abnormalities; however, for some, but not all of these circuits Mavoglurant had a genotype-specific effect of restoring functional connectivity. Analyses of network connectivity strength showed that chronic treatment with AFQ056/Mavoglurant was sufficient to restore the connectivity profile towards Fmr1+/y levels in temporal associative and somatosensory networks (Genotype × Treatment interaction, p-value = 0.009 and 0.001, respectively), but not in anterior-posterior cingulate network (p-value = 0.136).These results show that rs-fMRI connectivity is sufficiently sensitive to pick up system-level changes after the pharmacological inhibition of mGluR5 activity. Overall, the effects of Mavoglurant are confined to specific networks suggesting that behavioral benefits might be restricted to narrow functional domains.
