The invention is directed to methods of using antagonists selective for the metabotropic mGlu5 receptor to treat conditions of neuromuscular dysfunction of the lower urinary tract in a mammal. Provided are methods of treating a mammal suffering from a condition of neuromuscular dysfunction of the lower urinary tract by administering a selective mGlu5 antagonist. The selective mGlu5 antagonist may be administered alone or in combination with one or more additional therapeutic agents for treating such a condition. Also provided are methods of identifying selective mGlu5 antagonists that are useful for treating neuromuscular dysfunction of the lower urinary tract in a mammal. Methods for treating migraine and gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) using selective mGlu5 antagonists are also disclosed.
本发明涉及使用选择性拮抗剂治疗哺乳动物下尿路神经肌肉功能障碍的方法。提供了一种通过给哺乳动物投予选择性mGlu5受体拮抗剂来治疗下尿路神经肌肉功能障碍的方法。该选择性mGlu5受体拮抗剂可以单独或与一种或多种其他治疗剂联合使用来治疗此类疾病。还提供了用于治疗偏头痛和胃食管反流病(GERD)的选择性mGlu5受体拮抗剂的方法。同时还提供了用于鉴定对治疗哺乳动物下尿路神经肌肉功能障碍有用的选择性mGlu5受体拮抗剂的方法。
