[Influence of hemantane in injectable dosage form on levodopa-induced dyskinesia in rats with model parkinsonian syndrome].

: Levodopa-induced heavy dyskinesia was modeled in rats with severe hemiparkinsonian syndrome induced by injection of 6-hydroxydopamine in the left medial forebrain bundle. It is established that the antidyskinetic effect of the injectable dosage form of a new antiparkinsonian drug hemantane (5 mg/kg) after a single intravenous administration is weaker than that of the most effective in clinical practice antidyskinetic drug amantadine (20 mg/kg). However, after five days of treatment, the effect of hemantane injections exceeded that of amantadine.
