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]
