Levidopa induced dyskinesia

?
Describe LID
Hyperkinetic involunary uncontrolled movements
1 of 35
How many patients get LID
2/3rd after 5 years
2 of 35
What is the key factor related to levidopa
pulsatile recetpor stimulation. Less dyskinesia is seen with long acting DA agonists
3 of 35
What peptide is increased in the direct pathway in dyskinesia
dynorphin
4 of 35
What peptide is increased in the indirect pathway in dyskinesia
enkephalin
5 of 35
Which pathway is overactive and which is underactive in PD
OVERACTIVE = direct. UNDERACTIVE = indirect
6 of 35
A study that showed more dynorphin in a dyskinetic striatum
Henry, 2003
7 of 35
Where is enkephalin released in the indirect pathway
In the GPe - coreleased with GABA from striatal neurons
8 of 35
What receptor do they act on?
Presynaptic delta opioid receptors
9 of 35
The effects of enkephalinase binding
reduces gaba release
10 of 35
How does this affect the GPe neurons projecting to the STN
There is a loss of inhibition, so there is a large amount inhibition of STN neurons
11 of 35
The consequences of STN neurons becoming inhibited
less glu input to the GPi, which means less inhibition of the thalamocortical tract
12 of 35
Result of less inhibition of the thalamocortical tract
excessive thalamocortical feedback resulting in hyperkinesia
13 of 35
Where is dynorphin released in the direct pathway
the striatal neurons projecting to the Gpi/SNr.
14 of 35
Where does dynorphin act?
on mu and delta opioid receptors, on glutamatergic neurons projecting from the STN
15 of 35
The effect of this mu and delta receptor activation
reduction in glut release.
16 of 35
The effect of this glut release
less inhibition from Gpi-thalamus neurons, which means excessive thalamocortical feedback.

Drug approaches to lessening LID
Giving long acting DA2 agonists, eg, ropinirole. OR given MAO-B inhibitors
18 of 35
How is ropinirole used in the clinic
given as a first line treatment, or can be given as an adjucnt to LDOPA
19 of 35
What is seen in the brain of LADA treated animals
Normal levels of dynorphin, enkephalin
20 of 35
Why are MAO-B inhbitors referred to as LDOPA sparing
You don't need as big a dose of LDOPA because it keeps dopamine around for longer, so reduction of fluctuations
21 of 35
Another way of preventing LID
Long acting formulation of LDOPA - duodenal pump that infuses ldopa directly
22 of 35
Alternative non-DA approaches to dyskinesia
Opioid antagonists and glu based strategies
23 of 35
problems with opioid antagonist
They work in animal models - but failed clinical trials. they also caused dysphoria.
24 of 35
How is glutamate transmission disrupted in PD?
INCREASED glutamatergic transmission between cortex and striatum, (probably turning on gene expression of peptides).
25 of 35
Examples of receptors on the corticostriatal synapses that could be targetted
mGlu2/3 presynaptically, post synaptic mGlu5, AMPA, NMDA
26 of 35
A successful drug for LID
NMDA receptor antagonist AMANTIDINE. 2/3rds of patients ,so not ALL
27 of 35
Another action of NMDA antagoninst amanditine
decreased expression of peptides
28 of 35
Why are we looking for other treatments?
Doesn't help all - and it has cognitive side effects
29 of 35
What NMDA receptor is localised to the striatum
NR2B,
30 of 35
A drug that was trialed to antagonise NR2B
CP 101 606 - STILL gave cognitive side effects
31 of 35
Example of an AMPA antagonist
Topiramate. - Promising in animals, failed in clinical trials. Got worse.
32 of 35
An important feature of antidyskinesic drugs
Not reducing the effects of LDOPA.
33 of 35
An example of an mGlu5 antagonist
MTEP - BUT slightly reduces LDOPA effectiveness. looking very promising though
34 of 35
Do mglu5 affect peptide levels
yes, they reduce peptide mRNA expression
