DCG-IV is a research drug which acts as a group-selective agonist for the group II metabotropic glutamate receptors (mGluR2/3).[1] It has potent neuroprotective and anticonvulsant effects in animal studies,[2][3][4][5] as well as showing anti-Parkinsonian effects,[6][7] but also impairs the formation of memories.[8][9]

  1. Well, that’s interesting to know that Psilotum nudum are known as whisk ferns. Psilotum nudum is the commoner species of the two. While the P. flaccidum is a rare species and is found in the tropical islands. Both the species are usually epiphytic in habit and grow upon tree ferns. These species may also be terrestrial and grow in humus or in the crevices of the rocks.
