nomifensine and Parkinson Disease

nomifensine has been researched along with Parkinson Disease in 24 studies

Nomifensine: An isoquinoline derivative that prevents dopamine reuptake into synaptosomes. The maleate was formerly used in the treatment of depression. It was withdrawn worldwide in 1986 due to the risk of acute hemolytic anemia with intravascular hemolysis resulting from its use. In some cases, renal failure also developed. (From Martindale, The Extra Pharmacopoeia, 30th ed, p266)
nomifensine : An N-methylated tetrahydroisoquinoline carrying phenyl and amino substituents at positions C-4 and C-8, respectively.

Parkinson Disease: A progressive, degenerative neurologic disease characterized by a TREMOR that is maximal at rest, retropulsion (i.e. a tendency to fall backwards), rigidity, stooped posture, slowness of voluntary movements, and a masklike facial expression. Pathologic features include loss of melanin containing neurons in the substantia nigra and other pigmented nuclei of the brainstem. LEWY BODIES are present in the substantia nigra and locus coeruleus but may also be found in a related condition (LEWY BODY DISEASE, DIFFUSE) characterized by dementia in combination with varying degrees of parkinsonism.

"These mice provide a valid model of Parkinson's disease and are a resource for the investigation of pathogenesis and therapeutics."1.35Mutant LRRK2(R1441G) BAC transgenic mice recapitulate cardinal features of Parkinson's disease. ( Beal, MF; Bogdanov, M; Burke, RE; Geghman, K; Jackson-Lewis, V; Li, C; Li, Y; Liu, W; Oo, TF; Przedborski, S; Tang, Y; Wang, L; Zhou, C, 2009)
"Copper sulfate (1 m M) alone was not toxic to RCSN-3 cells, but was when combined with dopamine or with dicoumarol (95% toxicity; p < 0."1.31Copper neurotoxicity is dependent on dopamine-mediated copper uptake and one-electron reduction of aminochrome in a rat substantia nigra neuronal cell line. ( Azar, CO; Bennett, LB; Caviedes, P; Caviedes, R; Dagnino-Subiabre, A; Marcelain, K; Paris, I; Segura-Aguilar, J, 2001)
"Post-mortem neurochemical studies in Parkinson's disease (PD) have shown that, in addition to the typical nigro-striatal dopamine denervation, there exists a concomitant neocortical monoamine fibre deafferentation (of variable severity) whose role in motor, and especially in associated cognitive and affective impairment, remains elusive."1.29PET imaging of neocortical monoaminergic terminals in Parkinson's disease. ( Allain, P; Baron, JC; Barré, L; Lechevalier, B; Marié, RM; Rioux, P, 1995)
"Two patients with advanced Parkinson's disease were followed for 6 months before, and 18 months after, receiving stereotaxic grafts of fetal mesencephalic tissue from aborted human fetuses."1.28Eighteen-month course of two patients with grafts of fetal dopamine neurons for severe Parkinson's disease. ( Bygdeman, M; Freedman, R; Gerhardt, G; Hoffer, BJ; Leenders, KL; Olson, L; Seiger, A; Strömberg, I; Young, D; Zerbe, GO, 1992)
"In patients with Parkinson's disease, striatal uptake of both tracers was decreased, putamen being significantly more affected than caudate."1.28The nigrostriatal dopaminergic system assessed in vivo by positron emission tomography in healthy volunteer subjects and patients with Parkinson's disease. ( Brooks, DJ; Frackowiak, RS; Jones, T; Leenders, KL; Marsden, CD; Perani, D; Sager, H; Salmon, EP; Tyrrell, P, 1990)
"11C-nomifensine and PET seems to be an auspicious method to measure the striatal dopaminergic nerve terminals of man in vivo."1.27In vivo evaluation of striatal dopamine reuptake sites using 11C-nomifensine and positron emission tomography. ( Antoni, G; Aquilonius, SM; Bergström, K; Eckernäs, SA; Gee, A; Hartvig, P; Leenders, KL; Lundquist, H; Rimland, A; Uhlin, J, 1987)
"Although the cause of Parkinson's disease is still unknown it has become clear that dopaminergic cell loss in the substantia nigra is a prominent feature of the disease."1.27Parkinson's disease and PET tracer studies. ( Leenders, KL, 1988)
"11C-nomifensine seems to be a valuable tool for investigating noradrenergic and dopaminergic re-uptake sites in vivo."1.27Monoamine re-uptake sites in the human brain evaluated in vivo by means of 11C-nomifensine and positron emission tomography: the effects of age and Parkinson's disease.
