Parkinson’s disease Understanding
Parkinson’s disease: Overview
Parkinson’s disease is a progressive disorder that is caused by degeneration of nerve cells in the part of the brain called the substantia nigra, which controls movement. These nerve cells die or become impaired, losing the ability to produce an important chemical called dopamine. Studies have shown that symptoms of Parkinson's develop in patients with an 80 percent or greater loss of dopamine-producing cells in the substantia nigra. Normally, dopamine operates in a delicate balance with other neurotransmitters to help coordinate the millions of nerve and muscle cells involved in movement. Without enough dopamine, this balance is disrupted, resulting in tremor (trembling in the hands, arms, legs and jaw); rigidity (stiffness of the limbs); slowness of movement; and impaired balance and coordination – the hallmark symptoms of Parkinson's. The cause of Parkinson's essentially remains unknown. However, theories involving oxidative damage, environmental toxins, and genetic factors and accelerated aging have been discussed as potential causes for the disease. In 2005, researchers discovered a single mutation in a Parkinson’s disease gene (first identified in 1997), which is believed responsible for five percent of inherited cases. The majority of Parkinson's patients are treated with medications to relieve the symptoms of the disease. These medications work by stimulating the remaining cells in the substantia nigra to produce more dopamine (levodopa medications) or by inhibiting some of the acetylcholine that is produced (anticholinergic medications), therefore restoring the balance between the chemicals in the brain.
Parkinson's disease symptoms can be different for everyone. Early symptoms may be mild and go unnoticed. The symptoms may include tremor, slowed movement, known as bradykinesia, rigid muscles, impaired posture and balance, loss of automatic movements, speech changes, writing changes The diagnosis of Parkinson's is based on medical history, a review of symptoms, and a neurological and physical exam. A specific single-photon emission computerized tomography (SPECT) scan called a dopamine transporter (DAT) scan. Imaging tests — such as an MRI, ultrasound of the brain and PET scans — also may be used to help rule out other disorders. Parkinson's disease can't be cured, but medicines can help control the symptoms, often dramatically medicines may help manage problems with walking, movement and tremor. These medicines increase or substitute for dopamine. The medicines used are dopamine agonists, Monoamine oxidase B (MAO B) inhibitors, Catechol O-methyltransferase (COMT) inhibitors, Anticholinergics, adenosine receptor antagonists (A2A receptor antagonists). MRI-guided focused ultrasound (MRgFUS) is a minimally invasive treatment that has helped some people with Parkinson's disease manage tremor.

Parkinson’s disease Emerging Drugs Chapters
This segment of the Parkinson’s disease report encloses its detailed analysis of various drugs in different stages of clinical development, including phase III, II, I, preclinical and Discovery. It also helps to understand clinical trial details, expressive pharmacological action, agreements and collaborations, and the latest news and press releases.
Parkinson’s disease Emerging Drugs
- Tavapadon: Cerevel Therapeutics
Tavapadon is an orally-bioavailable, once-daily partial agonist that selectively targets dopamine D1/D5 receptor subtypes. The drug is designed to improve motor symptoms by selectively targeting and binding to dopamine D1/D5 receptor subtypes and to activate the D1/D5 receptor subtypes at levels that maximize motor benefit while reducing the prolonged receptor over excitation and desensitization caused by full agonists, which can lead to dyskinesia’s and exacerbation of “off” time. Currently it is in Phase III stage of clinical trial evaluation to treat Parkinson’s disease.
- IkT-148009: Inhibikase Therapeutics
IkT-148009 is a potent, selective small-molecule, oral medication targeting the underlying biological mechanism with the goal of halting disease progression and reversing functional loss. The drug is designed to block the activation of Abl kinase, a clinically validated drug target, to halt and reverse the loss of dopamine-secreting neurons in the brain and GI tract by restoring neuroprotective mechanisms. IkT-148009 is currently being evaluated in the Phase II studies for the treatment of Parkinson’s disease.
NLY01 is a first-in-Class GLP-1R agonist for Neurodegenerative Disease. It is a pegylated exendin-4 analogue of glucagon like peptide-1 receptor (GLP-1R) agonist. NLY01 penetrates the blood–brain barrier (BBB) and its receptor (GLP-1R) is highly expressed on glial cells. Currently the drug is being evaluated in Phase II for the treatment of Parkinson’s disease.
PT320 (Exenatide) is a glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist (GLP-1 receptor agonist) belonging to the group of incretin mimetics. It is a synthetic version of exendin-4, a hormone found in the saliva of the Gila monster, and it is a 39-amino-acid peptide, inducing insulin secretion. Exenatide binds to the intact human GLP-1 receptor in a similar way to the human GLP-1. Currently the drug is being evaluated in Phase II for the treatment of Parkinson’s disease.
BIIB094, also known as ION859 is an investigational antisense medicine designed to inhibit the production of the leucine-rich repeat kinase 2 (LRRK2) protein as a potential therapy. It binds the mRNA for leucine-rich repeat kinase 2 and mediates its degradation. This results in lower LRRK2 protein levels. Currently the drug is being evaluated in Phase II for the treatment of Parkinson’s disease.
