AZD-2066 (hydrochloride)

AZD-2066 hydrochloride is a selective, orally active and blood-brain barrier-permeating mGluR5 antagonist. AZD 2066 hydrochloride activates the BDNF/trkB signaling pathway. AZD 2066 hydrochloride can be used in the research of neuropathic pain, major depressive disorder and gastroesophageal reflux disease[1][2][3][5].
