Chemistry:ADX88178

From HandWiki

ADX88178 is an experimental drug that acts as a positive allosteric modulator for the glutamate receptor mGluR4. It was developed as a potential medication for the treatment of Parkinson's disease but had mixed results in animal studies, improving dyskinesia but worsening psychosis-like symptoms. However it has antiinflammatory effects in brain tissue which may make it useful for other indications.[1][2][3][4][5][6]
