• Beschreibung: 2-Methyl-6-(phenylethynyl)pyridine (MPEP) is a drug that is used in the treatment of Parkinson's disease. This drug inhibits the synthesis of proteins, including glutamate and dopamine, which are involved in Parkinson's disease. MPEP has been shown to be effective against Parkinson's disease by blocking protein synthesis in the caudate putamen and other brain regions. It also lowers locomotor activity and improves motor skills in rats. MPEP binds to response element-binding protein (RBP), which is involved in the regulation of gene expression. The binding of MPEP to RBP leads to an increase in levels of endogenous adenosine, which blocks the effects of dopamine and serotonin on postsynaptic neurons.
