Trihexyphenidyl interactions with the dopamine D1-selective receptor agonist SKF-82958 and the D2-selective receptor agonist N-0923 in 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine-induced hemiparkinsonian monkeys. 1998

The effects of the antiparkinsonian agent trihexyphenidyl, a selective M1 muscarinic cholinergic receptor antagonist, were studied in doses of 100, 320 and 1000 micrograms/kg i.m. alone. Trihexyphenidyl was then studied in combination with the selective dopamine receptor D1 agonist SKF-82958 [(+/-)-6-chloro-7-8-dihydroxy-3-allyl-1-phenyl-2,3,4,5-tetrahydro- 1H-benzazepine hydrobromide] and the selective D2 agonist N-0923 [(-)2-(N-propyl-N-2-thienylethyl)amino-5-hydroxytetralin HCl] on rotational behavior in five 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine-lesioned hemiparkinsonian monkeys. Given alone, trihexyphenidyl had no effect on ipsiversive and slightly enhanced contraversive circling. Contraversive circling produced by 74.8 and 234 micrograms/kg SKF-82958 i.m. was potentiated by increasing doses of trihexyphenidyl. On the other hand, contraversive circling produced by 10 and 32 micrograms/kg N-0923 i.m. was progressively reduced with increasing doses of trihexyphenidyl. The results obtained indicate differential actions on circling behavior between a selective M1 muscarinic cholinergic receptor antagonist and selective D1 and D2 receptor agonists in the 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine monkey model of hemiparkinsonism.

D010302 Parkinson Disease, Secondary Conditions which feature clinical manifestations resembling primary Parkinson disease that are caused by a known or suspected condition. Examples include parkinsonism caused by vascular injury, drugs, trauma, toxin exposure, neoplasms, infections and degenerative or hereditary conditions. Clinical features may include bradykinesia, rigidity, parkinsonian gait, and masked facies. In general, tremor is less prominent in secondary parkinsonism than in the primary form.
