Foliglurax (developmental code names PXT-002331, DT2331) is a positive allosteric modulator of the metabotropic glutamate receptor 4 (mGluR4),[1] which is under development by Prexton Therapeutics for the treatment of Parkinson's disease.[2][3][4] It reached phase II clinical trials,[2] but while it was found to be safe and showed some signs of clinical improvement, it failed to sufficiently distinguish itself from placebo to meet the study endpoints.[5][6]

The other tautomeric form of foliglurax.

  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.
