ANTAGONISM OF THE EFFECTS OF TREMORINE BY TROPINE DERIVATIVES

Abstract

Methods of testing new drugs for anti-Parkinson activity are briefly reviewed. The production in animals of Parkinson-like effects by Tremorine (1,4-dipyrrolidin-1'-ylbut-2-yne), and the inhibition of these effects in mice by a number of tropine derivatives, are described. No correlation was found between the activity against tremor and the anticholinergic, antihistaminic or local anaesthetic properties of the compounds.
