Transitory procaine-induced Parkinsonism.
نویسنده
چکیده
A case of prolonged, though reversible procaine-induced Parkinsonism treated with l-dopa and trihexyphenidyl (Artane-Sustets) is reported. A pathophysiological explanation is discussed on the basis of recent theories concerning the transmitter systems of the basal ganglia.

Transient ventricular fibrillation. IV. The effects of procaine amide on patients with transient ventricular fibrillation during established auriculoventricular dissociation.
Procaine amide was given intravenously to three patients with transient ventricular fibrillation during established auriculoventricular dissociation at a time when they were free from symptoms as well as during the attacks. It was determined that this drug has a transitory slowing effect upon the auricles. It depresses rhythmicity in the auriculoventricular node, prolongs the refractory period ...
متن کاملHigh intake of folic acid attenuates 6-hydroxydopamine-induced Parkinsonism
Introduction: High levels of homocysteine (Hcy) might accelerate dopaminergic cell death through oxidative stress and excitotoxicity. Folate plays an important role in the control of plasma levels of Hcy. In this study, effect of supplementation with folic acid on the 6-hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA)-induced Parkinsonism in rat and also serum level of Hcy was investigated. Methods: Rats were fed ...
متن کاملPrediction of catalepsies induced by amiodarone, aprindine and procaine: similarity in conformation of diethylaminoethyl side chain.
Recently, clinical cases of parkinsonism due to antiarrhythmics drugs amiodarone and aprindine and a local anesthetic drug procaine have been reported. We performed both in vivo and in vitro experiments to quantitatively predict the intensity of catalepsy by these drugs and haloperidol in mice. Haloperidol showed the most potent relative intensity of catalepsy, followed by aprindine, metoclopra...
متن کاملResearch Paper: The Anti-Parkinsonism Effects of KATP Channel Blockade in the 6-Hydroxydopamine-Induced Animal Model: The Role of Oxidative Stress
Introduction: Studies suggest that ATP-sensitive potassium (KATP) channels are a potential pharmacotherapeutic target for neuroprotection in neurodegenerative diseases. The current study aimed at evaluating the effect of pretreatment with glibenclamide (Glib) and B vitamins supplement on the severity of behavioral symptoms in 6-hydroxydopamine (OHDA)-induced Parkinsonism. Also malondialdehyde (...
متن کاملProcaine inhibits cyclic AMP-induced steroidogenesis in isolated bovine adrenocortical cells.
Effects of procaine on dibutyryl adenosine 3',5'-cyclic monophosphate ((Bu)2cAMP)-, Ca2(+)- or forskolin-induced steroidogenesis were examined in isolated bovine adrenocortical cells. Procaine (less than 1.0 mM) caused a marked suppression of (Bu)2cAMP- or forskolin-induced steroidogenesis in the absence of extracellular Ca2+, but did not affect on Ca2(+)-induced steroidogenesis in the cells. (...
