ABSTRACTParkinson’s disease is associated with a variety of neurotransmitter disturbances which may be further altered by its treatment with dopamine agonists. Based on this information a wide range of pharmacological approaches have been used in search of newer treatment alternatives and in hopes of reducing complications of long-term levodopa use. This paper reviews the various therapies which have had some success in the management of Parkinson’s disease, other than levodopa and dopamine agonists. Special emphasis is placed on the many unresolved questions and controversies that exist in this area of neuropharmacology.

The degeneration of nigrostriatal dopaminergic neurons in Parkinson’s disease gives rise to tremor and slowness of movement, cardinal motor symptoms of the disease that can be alleviated by the dopamine precursor L-DOPA. Despite this, long-term L-DOPA treatment is hampered by the development of abnormal involuntary movements, i.e. dyskinesia, in the majority of patients. The pathophysiology of dyskinesia is complex and multifactorial, but excessive swings in extracellular dopamine causing aberrant plasticity in dopaminoceptive neurons are attributed a primary role. To date there are few effective treatment alternatives for patients with Parkinson’s disease experiencing dyskinesia, representing an unmet therapeutic need in the treatment strategy of the disease. This article reviews recent findings from both clinical and pre-clinical studies and their impact on the search for novel therapeutic approaches to levodopa-induced dyskinesia.
