MGS-0039 is a drug that is used in neuroscientific research, which acts as a potent and selective antagonist for group II of the metabotropic glutamate receptors (mGluR2/3). [1] [2] It produces antidepressant and anxiolytic effects in animal studies, [3] [4] [5] [6] and has been shown to boost release of dopamine and serotonin in specific brain areas. [7] [8] Research has suggested this may occur through a similar mechanism as that suggested for the similarly glutamatergic drug ketamine. [9] [10]
