FPEB is a selective and potent allosteric modulator of the metabotropic glutamate receptor subtype 5 (mGluR5). It is widely used in neuroscience research to study mGluR5-related signaling pathways and their role in neurological and psychiatric disorders. FPEB is particularly valuable in positron emission tomography (PET) imaging for visualizing mGluR5 distribution in the brain. This compound aids in understanding the pathophysiology of conditions like anxiety, depression, and schizophrenia, offering potential insights into new therapeutic targets.
