BAM-1110 [(5R,8R,10R)-6-methyl-8-(1,2,4-triazol-l-ylmethyl) ergoline maleate] is a newly synthesized dopamine agonist that produces little anorexic side effects (nausea and vomiting). The current study examines the effects of BAM-1110 on parkinsonian symptoms in
Parkinson's disease (PD) is a progressive, neurodegenerative disorder which involves the loss of dopaminergic neurons of the substantia nigra pars compacta. Current therapy is essentially symptomatic, and L-Dopa (LD), the direct precursor of dopamine(DA), is the treatment of choice in more advanced
CQA 206-291, a new D2 dopamine receptor agonist with a biphasic dopaminergic profile, was given to six patients with idiopathic Parkinson's disease after overnight drug withdrawal. With incremental single oral doses of CQA, a dose-related, clinically significant, and prolonged antiparkinsonian
Six patients with fluctuating Parkinson's disease received single rising oral doses of the nonergot dopamine agonist CV 205-502 in an open experimental study. Doses of 0.5 mg produced antiparkinsonian effects of comparable intensity but longer duration than 200 mg of L-DOPA. CV 205-502, which
The D2 dopamine agonist piribedil is not widely used in the treatment of Parkinson's disease because it was thought to be effective mainly on parkinsonian tremor and to produce a high incidence of peripheral side effects, particular nausea. In this study, we used

This case report describes a patient with known idiopathic Parkinson's disease, being managed with transdermal rotigotine, whose refractory nausea and vomiting was successfully controlled with subcutaneous levomepromazine. No drug-induced extrapyramidal side effects emerged.

BACKGROUND
As Parkinson's disease (PD) progresses,despite optimized pharmacotherapy, patients experience more frequent fluctuations between symptomatic improvement ("on" times) and the return of motor features ("off" times). Apomorphine, the first injectable dopamine agonist available in the United
OBJECTIVE
To compare the tremorlytic properties of pramipexole, a non-ergoline dopamine agonist to those of placebo as add on medication in patients with Parkinson's disease.
METHODS
Eighty four patients with early or advanced Parkinson's disease and marked, drug resistant tremor under a stable and
CONCLUSIONS
The semisynthetic ergotine dopamine agonist pergolide has demonstrated activity at pre- and postsynaptic dopamine D2 receptors in vitro and in vivo animal studies. However, unlike other dopamine agonists such as bromocriptine, pergolide also has agonist activity at dopamine D1 receptors.
During a long-term double-blind study, which began February 1985, we have treated 16 patients with Morbus Parkinson or Parkinson's syndrome with deprenyl or identically appearing placebo tablets. The aim of the study is to ascertain whether a reduction of other antiparkinsonian medication,
Levodopa has several advantages as a pharmacological challenge agent for human neuroscience research. Exogenous levodopa changes striatal neuronal activity and increases extracellular dopamine concentrations, and with adequate inhibition of peripheral metabolism levodopa does not change mean
OBJECTIVE
A literature evaluation of antidopaminergic therapies in patients with Parkinson's disease (PD) who have developed psychosis, nausea, vomiting, and hiccups was conducted.
CONCLUSIONS
Complications associated with the use of antiparkinsonian drugs make PD management more difficult given the
Application of the common marmoset to pharmacological studies was reviewed, especially employment of the animal as a model of Parkinson's disease were presented. The common marmoset is one of the New World monkeys with a body weight of 300-350 g. It is small enough to be easily handled and to be
Side effects to antiparkinsonian drugs constitute an important component of the daily management of patients with Parkinson's disease. Treatment with levodopa frequently leads to motor fluctuations and dyskinesias. Hallucinosis, nausea and vomiting, drowsiness, orthostatic hypotension and peripheral
Apomorphine, a non-ergot derivative, is a potent, directly acting dopamine receptor agonist with high affinity to D4, lower to D2, D3, D5, the lowest to D1-like dopamine receptors as well as to serotonin and adrenoreceptors. Subcutaneous apomorphine is currently used in Parkinson's disease as an
