|
Side effects of L-DOPA are
|
GI, CV, Abnormal involuntary movements, behavioral distrubances, flunctuations in response
|

L Dopa SE: Flunctuations in response
|
Wearing off phenomenon: severe akinesia when you come off

|
How can you decrease end of dose wearing off effect
|
give COMT inhibitors, a combo of entacapone with 3 different doses of L-Dopa/caridopa
|
|
Why is L-Dopa reserved for advanced Park
|
because your best results are obtained in first 3 to 4 years of treatment. After that refractoriness may develop due to disease progression or increase SE due to drug-induced supersensitivity.

|

|
MAO inhibitor type B
|
|
Two type of MAO nhibtors
|
type A- serotonin NE
Type B- dopamine |
|
MOA of Selegiline
|
Lack undesirable effects of non-selective MAO inhibitors
(hypertension following ingestion of foods rich in tyramine) Release NE from sympathetic neurons **LIPID SOLUBLE, GETS INTO CNS*** May have neuroprotective and anti-apoptotic effects |
|
Selegiline: Clinical use
|
Adjunctive therapy with L-dopa for advanced disease
May prolong the effect of L-dopa and decrease mild on-off or wearing off akinesia |
|
Selegiline SE:
|
Dyskinesias and mental distrubaces( eg confusion and hallucina greater than l-dopa
Insomina, anxiety, nausea, hyptension |
|
drug interaction
|
tricyclic antidepressants, SSRI's: increase risk of Serotonin Syndrome- hypertension tremors rigidity, agitation, hyperthermia
|
|
Tolcapone MOA
|
COMT inhibitor
Inhibit catechol-o-methyl-transferase (COMT) blocks periphperal conversion of levodopa to 3-o-methyl-DOPA ↑ L-DOPA entering BRAIN |
|
Tol pharmocokinetics
|
Rapidly absorbed, bound to plasma protein, and metabolized prior to excretion. Half life of both drug is about 2 hrs 4-6x/d
**NOT lipid soluble, CANNOT get into CNS*** (stays in periphery) |
|
Tolcapone clinical uses
|
adjunct to L-dopa/carbidopa in patients experiencing on-off phenomenon: may produce smooth response
|
|
Tolcapone SE:
|
Nausea, hypotension, orthostatic hypotension, vivid dreams, hallucination, DIARRHEA **HEPATOTOXICITY (mainly tolcapone though)***
|
|
Tolcapone where it works compared to selegilline
|
*so these are great drugs to give WITH L-dopa b/c Entacapone works in PERIPHERY (COMTi) to prevent brk of L-dopa, allowing more L-dopa to enter CNS and converted to DA, then Selegiline works CENTRALLY (MAO-Bi) to allow Dopamine to work in Basal ganglion (end pt effect).
|
|
Amantadine MOA
|
MOA
Old Belief: ↑ DA release & Blocks DA reuptake **NEW findings point more to BLOCKING NMDA Glutamate Receptor **this is MOA** **ORIGINALLY used as anti-viral (NO LONGER used for that), UNPREDICABLE benefit for PARKINSONS$$ |
|
Amantadine SE: CNS
|
CNS: Dizziness, confusion, insomnia, anxiety, excitement, hallucinations
|

|
Trihexphynidly
Benztropine mesylate Indication |
Less effective than levodopa
RECOMMENDED over L-dopa only in: **Younger patients w/ mild disease and pts w/ drug-induced parkinsonism$$$ Tremor and rigidity are most improved *bradykinesia less so |
|
Anticolingergic MOA continued
|
*this works b/c cortex EXCITES CP (striatal neurons) via ACH **so if inhibit this then **REMOVE inhibition on INDIRECT*** path (so GPL is able to inhibit STN, and therefore INCREASE MOTOR b/c no excitation of inhibition on VL thalamus)*** b/c with Parkinsons, then usually the INDRECT path is Hyperexcited **can think of functioning like a D2R agonist (eventhough diff mech)
