5-hydroxytryptophan and Movement Disorders

5-hydroxytryptophan has been researched along with Movement Disorders in 25 studies

5-Hydroxytryptophan: The immediate precursor in the biosynthesis of SEROTONIN from tryptophan. It is used as an antiepileptic and antidepressant.
5-hydroxytryptophan : A tryptophan derivative that is tryptophan substituted by a hydroxy group at position 5.

Movement Disorders: Syndromes which feature DYSKINESIAS as a cardinal manifestation of the disease process. Included in this category are degenerative, hereditary, post-infectious, medication-induced, post-inflammatory, and post-traumatic conditions.

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"The effects of 5-hydroxytryptophan (5-HTP), a serotonin precursor, and carbidopa, a peripheral aromatic amino acid decarboxylase inhibitor, were studied in a boy with the Lesch-Nyhan syndrome."7.66Further observations on the use of 5-hydroxytryptophan in a child with Lesch-Nyhan syndrome. ( Anders, TF; Barchas, JD; Berger, PA; Cann, HM; Ciaranello, RD, 1978)
"Severe 6-pyruvoyl-tetrahydrobiopterin synthase deficiency is a tetrahydrobiopterin deficiency disorder that presents in infancy with developmental delay, seizures, and abnormal movements associated with hyperphenylalaninemia usually detectable by neonatal phenylketonuria screening programs."3.736-pyruvoyl-tetrahydropterin synthase deficiency with mild hyperphenylalaninemia. ( Blau, N; Connolly, MB; Demos, MK; Hyland, K; Lillquist, Y; Makhseed, N; Vallance, HD; Waters, PJ, 2005)
"The effects of 5-hydroxytryptophan (5-HTP), a serotonin precursor, and carbidopa, a peripheral aromatic amino acid decarboxylase inhibitor, were studied in a boy with the Lesch-Nyhan syndrome."3.66Further observations on the use of 5-hydroxytryptophan in a child with Lesch-Nyhan syndrome. ( Anders, TF; Barchas, JD; Berger, PA; Cann, HM; Ciaranello, RD, 1978)
"Progress in the treatment of action myoclonus is especially noteworthy and has led to the implication of serotonin deficit in the pathophysiology of this syndrome."1.26New approaches in the management of hyperkinetic movement disorders. ( Fahn, S, 1977)
"The syndrome was not seen after thioridazine (3-7 mg/kg)."1.26Acute dystonia as an idiosyncratic response to neuroleptics in baboons. ( Anlezark, GM; Marsden, CD; Meldrum, BS, 1977)
" Although directly related to daily dosage of levodopa, the myoclonus was specifically blocked by the serotonin antagonist, methysergide."1.25Levodopa-induced myoclonus. ( Bergen, D; Goetz, C; Klawans, HL, 1975)
"Levodopa-induced myoclonus may be related to intermittent increases of activity of serotonin in the brain and results from levodopa-induced dysregulation of serotonin activity."1.25Levodopa-induced myoclonus. ( Bergen, D; Goetz, C; Klawans, HL, 1975)
"In monkeys with resting tremor, the administration of DL-5-HTP (5-hydroxytryptophan) or of DL-DOPA (3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine) relieves the tremor, but the simultaneous administration of DL-5-HTP or DL-DOPA and atropine results in a much more pronounced relief."1.25The effects of centrally acting drugs on tremor in monkeys with mesencephalic lesions. ( Anagnoste, B; Battista, AF; Goldstein, M; Nakatani, S, 1969)
