It is derived from the older mGluR group II agonist eglumegad,[1] and led on to the development of the more potent compound LY-404,039,[2] but is still widely used in research itself. LY-379,268 has sedative, neuroprotective, anti-addictive and anticonvulsant effects in animals,[3][4][5] and blocks the effects of PCP and DOI,[6][7][8][9][10] which has led to research into LY-379,268 and similar compounds as antipsychotic drugs for the treatment of schizophrenia in animals.[11][12]

There are inconsistent findings about an additional activity as a dopamine D2 receptor partial agonist.[13][14]
