PHILADELPHIA — Continuous intracerebroventricular administration of an anaerobic dopamine formulation (A-dopamine) appears safe in patients with Parkinson’s disease (PD) and may avoid complications associated with levodopa, results from a first in-human trial suggest. A-dopamine induced a dose-dependent improvement in motor symptoms in refractory patients with severe levodopa complications and had a “really great” safety profile, said study investigator...

Novel nano-encapsulation approach for efficient dopamine delivery in Parkinson’s treatment
UNIVERSITAT AUTONOMA DE BARCELONA IMAGE: NANOENCAPSULATION OF DOPAMINE CREDIT: ICN2/IBB-UAB Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a common neurodegenerative disorder caused by the death of dopaminergic neurons in a part of the brain (known as substantia nigra pars compacta), which leads to a deficit of dopamine (DA), one of the main neurotransmitters active in the central nervous...
