ropinirole and Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis

ropinirole has been researched along with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis in 5 studies

Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis: A degenerative disorder affecting upper MOTOR NEURONS in the brain and lower motor neurons in the brain stem and SPINAL CORD. Disease onset is usually after the age of 50 and the process is usually fatal within 3 to 6 years. Clinical manifestations include progressive weakness, atrophy, FASCICULATION, hyperreflexia, DYSARTHRIA, dysphagia, and eventual paralysis of respiratory function. Pathologic features include the replacement of motor neurons with fibrous ASTROCYTES and atrophy of anterior SPINAL NERVE ROOTS and corticospinal tracts. (From Adams et al., Principles of Neurology, 6th ed, pp1089-94)

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"We performed drug screening using motor neurons derived from disease-specific induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and found that ropinirole hydrochloride prevented motor neuron death."5.30[Ropinirole Hydrochloride, a Candidate Drug for ALS Treatment].
