Pharmacokinetics and Dose Proportionality Study of a Novel Antiparkinsonian Agent, a 1H-1,2,4-Triazol-3-ylthio-conjugate of Prottremine.

ABSTRACT: The novel antiparkinsonian agent PA-96 is the focus of our research. PA-96 supported the survival of cultured naïve dopamine neurons, alleviated motor deficits in MPTP and haloperidol-based mice models of Parkinson's disease, and increased the density of tyrosine hydroxylase positive neurons and dopamine concentration in the midbrain of an MPTP-damaged brain. In this work, an HPLC-MS/MS method was developed and validated, and the pharmacokinetics of the agent was investigated in mice after a single or multiple oral administration (p.o.) and intravenous injection (i.v.) at various doses. The dose proportionality was also evaluated after a single p.o. administration of three ascending doses (1, 5, and 10 mg/kg) and a single i.v. injection of two doses (1 and 10 mg
