Biphenylindanone A, a prototypical mGlu <sub>2</sub> positive allosteric modulator, alleviates dyskinesia and psychosis in the parkinsonian marmoset
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Objective To determine the effect of the prototypical and selective metabotropic glutamate 2 (mGlu 2 ) receptor positive allosteric modulator (PAM) biphenylindanone A (BINA) on L‐3,4‐dihydroxyphenylalanine (L‐DOPA)‐induced psychosis‐like behaviours (PLBs) and dyskinesia in the 1‐methyl‐4‐phenyl‐1,2,3,6‐tetrahydropyridine (MPTP)‐lesioned marmoset model of Parkinson's disease (PD). Background Psychosis and dyskinesia undermine the quality of life of as many as 50–95% of patients with advanced PD. Available therapies are few, and they may elicit important side effects. We have recently demonstrated that activation of mGlu 2 receptors with another prototypical PAM, LY‐487,379, reduces both PLBs and dyskinesia in the MPTP‐lesioned primate. Here, we seek to determine the effects of PAM BINA on these 2 treatment‐related complications, in the MPTP‐lesioned marmoset. Methods Six common marmosets ( Callithrix jacchus ) were rendered parkinsonian by MPTP injection. Following repeated administration of L‐DOPA/benserazide (L‐DOPA) to elicit stable PLBs and dyskinesia, they were administered acute challenges of BINA (0.1, 1 and 10 mg/kg) or vehicle, in combinaison with L‐DOPA after which the severity of PLBs, dyskinesia and parkinsonian disability was rated. Results BINA (0.1, 1 and 10 mg/kg) significantly reduced the severity of peak dose PLBs, by ≈33.3%, ≈ 55.6 and ≈ 61.1% ( P < 0.05, P < 0.01 and P < 0.01), respectively when compared to L‐DOPA/vehicle. Severity of peak dose dyskinesia was also reduced, by ≈ 28.9%, ≈ 52.3 and ≈57.8% ( P < 0.05, P < 0.01 and P < 0.01), respectively, when BINA (0.1, 1 and 10 mg/kg) was added to L‐DOPA, compared to L‐DOPA/vehicle. The anti‐psychotic and anti‐dyskinetic effects of BINA were achieved without interfering with the therapeutic effect of L‐DOPA on parkinsonian disability. Conclusions BINA is the second mGlu 2 PAM that was effective at alleviating PLBs and dyskinesia in the gold‐standard animal model of PD, the parkinsonian primate. The results presented here further add to the increasing data suggesting that mGlu 2 positive allosteric modulation may be effective to diminish both PD psychosis and L‐DOPA‐induced dyskinesia.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
