LY-404,039 je lek koji se koristi u naučnim istraživanjima kao selektivni agonistmetabotropnih glutamatnih receptora grupe II podtipova mGluR2 i mGluR3.[3] Istraživanja su pokazala da ima znatan afinitet (Ki = 8.2±1nM) za D2 receptor iz čega sledi mogući mehanizam dejstva.[4] On ima anksiolitičko i antipsihotičko dejstvo u životinjskim studijama, ali ne uzrokuje sedaciju.[5]
