PG - 58-66 AB - The present study comparatively evaluated the potency of a series of new phenylethyl[1,2,4]methyltriazines which are analogues of the classical metabotropic glutamate (mGlu) receptor subtype 5 (mGluR5) antagonist 2-methyl-6-(phenylethynyl)pyridine (MPEP) in blocking hyperalgesia induced by the group I mGlu receptor agonist (S)-3,5-DHPG as well as in reversing morphine antinociceptive tolerance in mice. Hyperalgesia was assessed in mice using the tail immersion test. Intrathecal (i.t.) pre-treatment with the test compounds 5-methyl-3-phenylethynyl-[1,2,4]triazine (RTI-4229-707), 5-methyl-3-(4-phenoxy-phenylethynyl-[1,2,4]triazine (RTI-4229-766), and 3-(3-methylphenylethynyl)-5-methyl-[1,2,4]triazine (RTI-4229-787) resulted in a dose-dependent blockade of (S)-3,5-DHPG-induced hyperalgesia. The inhibitory dose-50 (ID(50)) values were 0.49, 0.72 and 0.44 nmol/mouse, for RTI-4229-707, RTI-4229-766 and RTI-4229-787, respectively, compared to 18.63 nmol/mouse for MPEP. The other two compounds tested 3-(2,5-dimethylphenylethynyl)-5-methyl[1,2,4]triazine (RTI-4229-785) and 3-(2-methylphenylethynyl)-5-methyl[1,2,4]triazine (RTI-4229-828) were totally inactive. Morphine tolerance was induced in mice by implanting a 75 mg morphine pellet and assessing morphine-induced antinociception 72-h later. The morphine-pelleted mice showed a 5.5-fold tolerance to the antinociceptive effect of acute morphine compared to placebo-pelleted mice in the tail immersion test. Intracerebroventricular (i.c.v.) administration of the three active mGluR5 antagonists dose-dependently reversed morphine antinociceptive tolerance. The ID(50) values were 57.7, 25.8 and 64.3 nmol/mouse, for RTI-4229-707, RTI-4229-766 and RTI-4229-787, respectively, compared to 1050 nmol/mouse for MPEP. Similar to the hyperalgesia study, test compounds RTI-4229-785 and RTI-4229-828 were totally inactive in reversing morphine tolerance. These results are in agreement with our previous study in which we demonstrated that the same active mGluR5 antagonists blocked glutamate-mediated mobilization of internal calcium in a selective mGluR5 in vitro efficacy assay.
