Comparative 90-day toxicity of two decarboxylase inhibitors, benserazide and carbidopa, in the rat.

Levodopa and Decarboxylase Inhibitors: A Review of their Clinical Pharmacology and Use in the Treatment of Parkinsonism

It is possible to treat more Parkinsonian patients effectively with the combinations than withlevodopa alone, especially those in whom optimum dosage of levodopa cannot be reached because of dose-limiting side-effects.

Preliminary evidence of increased striatal dopamine in a nonhuman primate model of maternal immune activation

Nonhuman primates born to MIA-treated dams exhibited increased striatal dopamine in late adolescence—a hallmark molecular biomarker of schizophrenia, which validate the MIA model in a species more closely related to humans and open up new avenues for understanding the neurodevelopmental biology of schizophrenia.

Increased Striatal Presynaptic Dopamine in a Nonhuman Primate Model of Maternal Immune Activation: A Longitudinal Neurodevelopmental PET Study with Implications for Schizophrenia

Nigrostriatal Dopaminergic Neurons Remain Undamaged in Rats Given High Doses of l‐DOPA and Carbidopa Chronically

It seems unlikely that a model of Parkinson's disease, suitable for exploring the etiological importance of glutathione deficiency, can be produced in rats merely by administering the largest tolerable doses of l‐DOPA.

Pharmacology and toxicology of diflunisal.

Diflunisal possesses anti-inflammatory, analgesic and antipyretic activity and produced focal oedema, haemorrhage and small ulcers in one or both species, while aspirin produced similar gastric and renal toxicity in rats and dogs.

It is concluded that decarboxylase inhibitors can either inhibit or potentiate the central actions of i.-dopa depending upon whether they reach the brain sites where L-dopa acts.
