racemetirosine and Dystonia

racemetirosine has been researched along with Dystonia in 7 studies

alpha-Methyltyrosine: An inhibitor of the enzyme TYROSINE 3-MONOOXYGENASE, and consequently of the synthesis of catecholamines. It is used to control the symptoms of excessive sympathetic stimulation in patients with PHEOCHROMOCYTOMA. (Martindale, The Extra Pharmacopoeia, 30th ed)

Dystonia: An attitude or posture due to the co-contraction of agonists and antagonist muscles in one region of the body. It most often affects the large axial muscles of the trunk and limb girdles. Conditions which feature persistent or recurrent episodes of dystonia as a primary manifestation of disease are referred to as DYSTONIC DISORDERS. (Adams et al., Principles of Neurology, 6th ed, p77)

"Acute dystonia can also be reliably induced in many primate species by neuroleptic treatment with comparable time course, symptomatology and pharmacological characteristics to those observed in man."2.37Acute dystonia induced by neuroleptic drugs. ( Jenner, P; Marsden, CD; Rupniak, NM, 1986)
"He had a negative evaluation for malignant hyperthermia (MH), and we suggest that NMS differs from MH."1.26Neuroleptic malignant syndrome caused by dopamine-depleting drugs in a patient with Huntington disease. ( Burke, RE; Fahn, S; Louis, K; Mayeux, R; Weinberg, H; Willner, JH, 1981)
