Summary

The clinical manifestations of Parkinson's disease (PD), a chronic neurodegenerative condition, include resting tremor, hypokinesia, bradykinesia, stiffness and postural instability. These motor symptoms are caused by a selective loss and degeneration of dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra pars compacta (SNpc) region, which leads to a dopamine (DA) insufficiency in the striatum

Conditions

  • Parkinson Disease

Interventions

DRUG

Levodopa Carbidopa

Carbidopa/levodopa, also known as levocarb and co-careldopa, is the combination of the two medications carbidopa and levodopa. It is primarily used to manage the symptoms of Parkinson's disease.

DRUG

Vinpocetine

VIN, a phosphodiesterase-1 (PDE1) inhibitor, reduces oxidative stress and neuroinflammation and is used clinically for cerebrovascular disease and dementia. In PD, VIN increases dopamine levels, protects dopaminergic neurons, reverses motor impairments, and reduces inflammatory mediators
