title: [The antiparkinson activity of a new adamantane derivative].
abstract: The activity of the new original compound--hydrochloride N-2-(adamantyl) hexamethylenimine (code A-7) synthesized at the Institute of Pharmacology, Russian Academy of Medical Sciences, was studied on models of akinetic-rigid and tremor manifestations of the parkinsonian syndrome. A-7 completely relieves the akinetic-rigid manifestations of the syndrome and surpasses mydantan and L-dopa in antagonism with haloperidol and triftazine. Just as L-dopa, cyclodol, and mydantan, A-7 alleviates reserpine-induced oligokinesis and restores body temperature which is lowered by reserpine. A-7 possesses evident antitremor activity which advantageously distinguishes it from mydantan which failed to demonstrate antagonism with arecoline. A-7 is promising for further study as a potential agent for the treatment of parkinsonism.
