Budipine

Editor-In-Chief: C. Michael Gibson, M.S., M.D. [1]

Overview

Budipine is an antiparkinson agent.

Its mechanism of action is not well characterized.^[2] It is believed to be an NMDA receptor antagonist,^[3] however, promoting the synthesis of dopamine.^[4]

Because it provides additional benefits relative to existing treatments, it probably does not precisely mimic the mechanism of an existing known treatment.^[5]
