Antiparkinsonian effects of the "Radiprodil and Tozadenant" combination in MPTP-treated marmosets

Abstract

We have demonstrated in a primate model that, the "Radiprodil/Tozadenant" combination significantly improves motor activity, extending previous results obtained in unilaterally lesioned 6-OHDA-rats. The strength of the preclinical data accumulated so far suggests that the use of such an A2A and NR2B antagonist combination could bring significant motor improvement to PD patients, without inducing the motor complications induced by L-Dopa therapy. Although encouraging, these preclinical data need to be confirmed in the clinic.
