benserazide and Movement Disorders

benserazide has been researched along with Movement Disorders in 37 studies

Benserazide: An inhibitor of DOPA DECARBOXYLASE that does not enter the central nervous system. It is often given with LEVODOPA in the treatment of parkinsonism to prevent the conversion of levodopa to dopamine in the periphery, thereby increasing the amount that reaches the central nervous system and reducing the required dose. It has no antiparkinson actions when given alone.
benserazide : A carbohydrazide that results from the formal condensation of the carboxy group of DL-serine with the primary amino group of 4-(hydrazinylmethyl)benzene-1,2,3-triol. An aromatic-L-amino-acid decarboxylase inhibitor (DOPA decarboxylase inhibitor) that does not enter the central nervous system, it is used as its hydrochloride salt as an adjunct to levodopa in the treatment of parkinsonism. By preventing the conversion of levodopa to dopamine in the periphery, it causes an increase in the amount of levodopa reaching the central nervous system and so reduces the required dose. Benserazide has no antiparkinson actions when given alone.

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.

"In a open study in 13 patients with Parkinson's disease with 'on-off' fluctuations, all (n = 3) or part (n = 10) of the usual intake of levodopa (with peripheral decarboxylase inhibitor) was replaced by Madopar HBS for 5-122 days (median 35)."2.66Open study of Madopar HBS, a new formulation of levodopa with benserazide, in 13 patients with Parkinson's disease and 'on-off' fluctuations.

" However, with the new formulation the dosage had to be increased by 86% on average as compared with standard Madopar."2.66Treatment of parkinsonian conditions with a controlled-release form of levodopa--preliminary study. ( D'Andrea, G; Durisotti, C; Ferro-Milone, F; Lion, P; Lorizio, A; Nordera, GP, 1987)

Preliminary assessment after short-term treatment. ( Heersema, T; Jansen, EN; Meerwaldt, JD; Speelman, JD; van Manen, J, 1987)

( Fisher, R; Jackson, MJ; Jenner, P; Rose, S; Tayarani-Binazir, KA; Zoubiane, G, 2010)
" In 13 patients a considerable diminution in nocturnal akinesia and in the frequency of waking up was reached with a mean dosage of 308 mg of Madopar HBS."1.27Madopar HBS in Parkinson patients with nocturnal akinesia. ( Jansen, EN; Meerwaldt, JD, 1988)
" At the end of the dosage adaptation phase (9 weeks) most patients improved; in patients with 'on-off' phenomenon, parkinsonism became less severe, on periods were longer, and fluctuations decrease; end-of-dose impairment resolved in 4 patients."1.27Substitution of standard Madopar by Madopar HBS in parkinsonians with fluctuations. ( Aljanati, R; Caamano, JL; Chouza, C; de Medina, O; Gonzales Panizza, V; Romero, S; Scarmelli, A, 1987)
" The dosage was adjusted until optimal response was obtained."1.27Madopar HBS: slow-release levodopa and benserazide in parkinsonian patients presenting marked fluctuations in symptoms on standard L-dopa treatment. ( Dupont, E; Hansen, E; Jensen, NO; Mikkelsen, B; Mikkelsen, BO, 1987)
" In all patients of the first group, after 3 months on stable 'optimal' dosage schedule, the previous L-dopa treatment was abruptly replaced, dose for dose, from one day to another by Madopar HBS, a new controlled-release form of Madopar."1.27Therapeutic value of Madopar HBS: judgment after 2 years experience.
