Used as a research compound in neuroscience to modulate metabotropic glutamate receptors, particularly mGluR4. It acts as a positive allosteric modulator, enhancing receptor activity and showing potential in studies related to Parkinson’s disease. Demonstrates neuroprotective effects in preclinical models by reducing excitotoxicity and improving motor function. Investigated for its role in synaptic transmission and as a tool compound for understanding glutamate signaling pathways. Not intended for therapeutic use in humans; strictly for laboratory research.
