Design and synthesis of JF-NP-26.

The synthesis of JF-NP-26 from raseglurant involves a one-pot procedure using raseglurant and 4-hydroxymethyl-7-diethylaminocoumarin (DEACM). In brief, a first reaction with triphosgene, NEt3 and …

Photochemical properties of JF-NP-26.

(A) UV-visible absorption spectra of raseglurant (Ras), the coumarine DEACM, and JF-NP-26 (JF) in PBS. The sum of the free Ras and DEACM spectra shows important differences relative to that of their …

Optical modulation of mGlu5 receptor activity in cultured cells and in primary striatal neurons.

(A) Determination of mGlu5 receptor-mediated inositol phosphate accumulation in transiently transfected HEK-293T cells. Normalized dose-response of raseglurant (Ras)- and JF-NP-26 (JF)-mediated …

In vivo assessment of JF-NP-26 light-dependent analgesic efficacy in neuropathic pain.

(A) Scheme showing the different LED-mediated irradiation points within the pain neuraxis (i.e. hind paw and thalamus) and pain triggering (i.e. hind paw formalin administration and chronic …

Peripheral and central light-dependent JF-NP-26-mediated antinociception in mice.

In the upper panel a scheme of the irradiation regime at 405 nm light (violet rectangles) and liking recordings (green rectangles - Phase I and Phase II) in the formalin animal model of pain is …

Effect of systemic administration and in vivo photoactivation of JF-NP-26 in liver toxicity and memory in mouse.

(A) Effect of Raseglurant and JF-NP-26 on serum transaminases. Mice were treated with vehicle (veh), acetaminophen treatment (APAP; 300 mg/kg, ip), raseglurant (Ras; 50 mg/kg, ip) or JF-NP-26 (JF; …

Video showing formalin-induced hind paw licking in a JF-NP-26 -treated mouse upon dark conditions from Figure 5.

Mouse, in a glass beaker (15 cm ø x 20 cm height), was administered with JF-NP-26 (10 mg/kg, i.p.). After 20 min, the LED-based irradiation system was attached to the thalamic implanted optic fiber …
