Fipamezole (MPV 1730; JP-1730) is a potent and orally active α2-adrenergic receptor antagonist with Ki values of 9.2 nM, 17 nM, and 55 nM for human α2A, α2B, and α2C, receptors, respectively. Fipamezole is an anti-dyskinetic agent, and can be used for the study of Parkinson's disease[1]. | [in vivo]
In the MPTP-lesioned marmoset, Fipamezole (1-10 mg/kg; po; once) significantly reduces L-dopa-induced dyskinesia without compromising the anti-parkinsonian action of L-DOPA (HY-N0304)[1]. | Animal Model: | Adult common marmosets (Callithrix jacchus, 300-345 g) injected with MPTP hydrochloride (2 mg/kg) and L-DOPA (8 mg/kg)[1] | | Dosage: | 1 mg/kg, 3 mg/kg, 10 mg/kg | | Administration: | po; once | | Result: | Significantly reduced L-DOPA-induced dyskinesia. |
