3-((2-Methyl-4-thiazolyl)ethynyl)pyridine (MTEP) is a research drug that was developed by Merck & Co. as a selective allosteric antagonist of the metabotropic glutamate receptor subtype mGluR5. Identified through structure-activity relationship studies on an older mGluR5 antagonist MPEP, [1] MTEP has subsequently itself acted as a lead compound for newer and even more improved drugs. [2] [3]

MTEP is both more potent and more selective than MPEP as a mGluR5 antagonist, [4] and produces similar neuroprotective, [5] [6] [7] antidepressant, [8] [9] [10] [11] analgesic, [12] [13] and anxiolytic effects but with either similar or higher efficacy depending on the test used. [14] [15] [16] [17]

MTEP also has similar efficacy to MPEP in reducing the symptoms of morphine withdrawal, [18] [19] [20] and has anti-addictive effects in a variety of animal models, both reducing ethanol self-administration, [21] [22] [23] [24] and also decreasing the addictive effects of nicotine, cocaine and methamphetamine. [25] [26] [27] [28] [29]
