Antagonist activity at mGlu4 is assessed by measuring the ability of a compound to concentration-dependently inhibit an EC80 glutamate response. IC50 and % inhibition values are the average of at least three independent determinations (mean ± SEM shown in table). Compounds were ranked as active if they inhibited the EC80 response by at least 20%.
