PHCCC is a research drug which acts as a glutamate receptor ligand, particularly being a positive allosteric modulator at the mGluR₄ subtype, ^[1] as well as an agonist at mGluR₆. ^[2] It has anxiolytic effects in animal studies. ^[3] PHCCC and similar drugs have been suggested as novel treatments for Parkinson's disease. ^[4]
