The ability of novel pharmacological compounds to improve outcomes in preclinical models is often not translated into clinical efficacy. Psychiatric disorders do not have biological boundaries and identifying mechanisms to improve the translational bottleneck between preclinical and clinical research domains is an important and challenging task. Glutamate transmission is disrupted in several neuropsychiatric disorders. Metabotropic glutamate (mGlu) receptors represent a diverse class of receptors that contribute to excitatory neurotransmission. Given the wide, yet region-specific manner of expression, developing pharmacological compounds to modulate mGlu receptor activity provides an opportunity to subtly and selectively modulate excitatory neurotransmission. This review focuses on the potential involvement of mGlu5 receptor disruption in major depressive disorders (MDD) and substance use disorders (SUD). We have provided an overview of the justification of targeting mGlu5 receptors in the treatment of these disorders, summarized the preclinical evidence for negatively modulating mGlu5 receptors as a therapeutic target for MDD and nicotine dependence and highlighted the outcomes of recent clinical trials. While the evidence of mGlu5 negative allosteric modulation has been promising in preclinical investigations, these beneficial effects have not translated into clinical efficacy. In this review, we have identified key challenges that may contribute to poor clinical translation and provided suggested approaches moving forward to potentially improve the translation from preclinical to clinical domains. Such approaches may increase the success of clinical trials, and may reduce the translational bottleneck that exists in drug discovery for psychiatric disorders.
