Title: Emerging targets and new small molecule therapies in Parkinson's disease treatment.
Authors: Zhang H, Tong R, Bai L, Shi J, Ouyang L.
Abstract: Parkinson's disease (PD) is a common chronic degenerative disease of the central nervous system. Due to a rapidly aging society worldwide, PD morbidity is on the rise; however, the treatment of PD with conventional drugs carries serious adverse reactions and cannot fix the root cause of PD, the degeneration of dopaminergic neurons, which limits conventional drug usage in clinical practice. In recent years, research on the pathogenesis of PD and its clinical manifestations has led to the discovery of an increasing number of novel targets in PD, including several small molecule targeted compounds. In this paper, we analyze and summarize the most recently published PD literature and review several recently discovered novel targets in PD and their small molecule targeted pharmacologically active agents based on their mechanisms of action and pharmacodynamic profiles.
