Prevalence
• 1.5 million in USA and 120,000 in the UK – accounts
for about 10% of all acute hospital admissions
• Effects 2 in 1,000 people; aged 80+ incidence is 1 in
50.
• Mainly affects adults in later life
• Slightly more common in men, Afro-Caribbean's and
people from the Indian subcontinent
• Affects the quality of life of about 500,000 (family,
carers etc)
Causes
• Unclear, but is a number of factors:
– Environmental – toxins
– Free Radicals – there is a increase in post-mortem
brain sections
– Aging – age related decline in dopamine
production
– Genetic – possible, no single gene identified
• Etiologi:
❖ Parkinsonisme pasca ensefalitis
❖ Parkinsonisme akibat obat
❖ Parkinsonisme idiopatik

Clinical Presentation (Lonis Herzberg)
Medication Rational
• Replace depleted levels of dopamine
• Stimulate the nerve receptors enabling
neurotransmission
• Increase the effect of dopamine on nerve
receptors (agonist)
• Counteract the imbalance of Ach and
Dopamine
• The Drugs:
– Dopaminergic drugs (improving dopamine
functioning)
• Levodopa
• Dopamine receptor agonists
• Amantadine
• Selective monoamine oxidase B inhibitors
• Catechol-O-methyltransferase inhibitors
– Antimuscarinic drugs (Ach inhibitors)
Levodopa
• Can not administer dopamine directly, as it does not cross the
blood brain barrier
• A natural amino acid that the brain converts into dopamine
(replacement therapy) used since the 1960’s
• Levodopa alone (Dopar, larodopa): Oral 100, 250, 500 mg
• To make it slow release, combined with(an enzyme
decarboxilase inhibitor) :
- benserazide to create co-beneldopa or co-careldopa:
50/100 mg per day
- Carbidopa (Sinemet) : 10/100 mg, 25/100 mg, 25/250 mg
per day
- Carbidopa/Levodopa/entacapone (Stalevo): 12.5 mg/50
mg/200 mg
• 30-60 minute s before meal
Decarboksilase
D1
Pharmacokinetics
▪ Absorbed by the small intestine by an active
transport system
only 20-30% oral dose reached the circulation
▪ Decarboxylation occurs in peripheral tissues
(gut wall, liver and kidney
• decrease amount available for distribution (1% of an
oral dose CNS)
• Extracerebral dopamine amounts causing unwanted
effects (benserazide reduce the peripheral dopamine
production)
▪ Short half-life
Adverse effects
– As a result of the amount of peripheral dopamine levels
• Nausea, vomiting
• Postural hypotension
– As a result of the amount of CNS dopamine levels
• Dyskinetic involuntary movements (face & neck)
• Hallucinations and confusion: counteracting by antipsycotic low
affinity for dopamine D2 (Clozapine, risperidone)
– Long term effects (1-5 years)
▪ Wearing-off: gejala parkinson timbul sebelum dosis berikutnya
▪ Fenomena pasang surut (On-Off): flukutuasi efek obat dalam waktu
singkat, beberapa jam membaik lalu memburuk mendadak
▪ Pembekuan gerakan (freezing): secara mendadak pasien yang
sedang berjalan tidak bisa melangkah, atau langkahnya
pendek-pendek sekali
Drug Interactions
+ Decarboxylase inhibitors:
1. Increased the levodopa through the CNS,
reduced the dose ~ 75%
2. Easier to reach the effective dose
3. Reduced the peripheral dopamine side effects
(nausea, vomite, hypotension)
4. Easier to control the symptom
5. The pyridoxine side effects can be avoided
Dopamine receptor agonists
merangsang reseptor dopaminergik sentral
• Apopmorphine (APO-go):
– SC administration
– Rescue therapy (temporary relief) of off-periods of
akinesia – rapid onset (10 min) with a short duration
of action (~ 2 houirs) maximum dose 10 mg
– Side efffect: NAUSEA, others dyskinesia, drowsiness
The Synapse
ions
Manifestations of the
seizure are
determined by the
cortical site at which
the seizure arises.
Convulsions:
– motor manifestations
– may or may not be present during seizures
– excessive neuronal discharge
• GABA agonists
• Barbiturates
• Benzodiazepines
• GABA re-uptake
inhibitors
Goal : ↑ GABA
Activity
GLUTAMATERGIC SYNAPSE
• Excitatory Synapse.
• Permeable to Na+, Ca2+
Na+ and K+.
Ca2+ AGONISTS
• Magnesium ions block
GLU channel in resting state.
GLY
• Glycine (GLY) binding
enhances the ability of
GLU or NMDA to open
the channel.
K+
Treatment of Seizures
1) Hydantoins: phenytoin
2) Barbiturates: phenobarbital
3) Oxazolidinediones: trimethadione
4) Succinimides: ethosuximide
5) Acetylureas: phenacemide
6) Other: carbamazepine, lamotrigine,
vigabatrin, etc.
7) Diet
8) Surgery, Vagus Nerve Stimulation
(VNS).
