Istradefylline

Istradefylline, sold under the brand name Nourianz, is a medication used as an add-on treatment to levodopa/carbidopa in adults with Parkinson's disease (PD) experiencing "off" episodes.[2][3][4] Istradefylline reduces "off" periods resulting from long-term treatment with the antiparkinson drug levodopa.[2] An "off" episode is a time when a patient's medications are not working well, causing an increase in PD symptoms, such as tremor and difficulty walking.[2]

Relatively common side effects include involuntary muscle movements (dyskinesia), constipation, hallucinations, dizziness and, much like its parent molecule caffeine, nausea and sleeplessness.[2]

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) considers it to be a first-in-class medication.[5]

Mechanism of action

edit

Istradefylline is a selective antagonist at the adenosine A2A receptor (A2AR), but the precise mechanism by which it exerts its therapeutic effect in Parkinson's disease is unknown.[6] However, it is known that dimers of these receptors form heterotetramers with the dimers of dopamine D2 receptors (D2R) within striatum. Adenosine acts as an endogenous A2AR agonist, but also as a negative allosteric modulator (NAM) within these tetramers towards D2Rs, thus inhibiting the D2R mediated effects of dopamine, an endogenous D2R agonist. Istradefylline is believed to bind an A2AR within an A2AR-D2R-tetramer and function as a NAM towards the other A2AR (instead of D2R), thus inhibiting the effects of adenosine and enhancing the movement (locomotion) promoting effects exerted by dopamine via D2R. However, at high istradefylline concentration, it causes locomotion depression akin to caffeine (which is a broad-spectrum adenosine receptor antagonist), and might do so by displacing adenosine, and working as a NAM towards D2R (instead of A2AR).[7]

Adverse effects

edit

The adverse effects of istradefylline have only been studied in the context of treating "off" episodes in Parkinson's disease. The most common adverse effects of istradefylline in clinical trials are dyskinesia exacerbation (roughly 9% increase relative to placebo), malaise, and nasopharyngitis (common cold).[8][9]

History

edit

It was first approved in Japan in 2013.[10]

The effectiveness of Nourianz in treating "off" episodes in patients with Parkinson's disease who are already being treated with levodopa/carbidopa was shown in four 12-week placebo-controlled clinical studies that included a total of 1,143 participants. In all four studies, people treated with Nourianz experienced a statistically significant decrease from baseline in daily "off" time compared to patients receiving a placebo.[2][3]

It was approved for medical use in the United States in 2019.[2][3][11] and approval was granted to Kyowa Kirin, Inc.[2]

Research

edit

Wakefulness effects

edit

The wakefulness-promoting effects of non-selective adenosine receptor antagonists like caffeine appear to be mediated specifically and exclusively by antagonism of the adenosine A2A receptor.[12][13] There is preliminary clinical evidence that istradefylline has wakefulness-promoting effects similarly to caffeine.[12][13]

Motivational disorders

edit

Istradefylline shows pro-motivational effects in animals and has been found to reduce apathy, fatigue, and anhedonia in people with Parkinson's disease.[14][15][12][16] Selective adenosine A2A receptor antagonists like istradefylline and preladenant may be useful in the treatment of motivational disorders in humans.[14][15]

Other conditions

edit

In addition to Parkinson's disease, istradefylline was under development for the treatment of major depressive disorder (MDD), restless legs syndrome, and substance-related disorders.[17] However, development for these indications was discontinued.[17]

Adenosine A2A receptor antagonists have been studied for their potential antiparkinsonian effects (Ferré 1997; Morelli and Pinna 2002; Correa et al. 2004), and istradefylline (Nourianz) has been approved for use in several countries. Particularly relevant for the present review, drugs that act on adenosine A2A receptors induce substantial effects on instrumental behavior and effort-related choice. [...] Caffeine, theophylline, and several adenosine A2A receptor antagonists (MSX-3, MSX-4, Lu AA47070, istradefylline) can reverse the low-effort bias induced by systemically administered DA D2 antagonists (Farrar et al. 2007; Worden et al. 2009; Mott et al. 2009; Collins et al. 2012; Nunes et al. 2010; Santerre et al. 2012; Randall et al. 2012; Pardo et al. 2020), and MSX-3 and preladenant reverse the effects of TBZ (Nunes et al. 2013; Randall et al. 2014; Yohn et al. 2015a; Salamone et al. 2018). [...] Furthermore, A2A receptor knockout mice are resistant to the effort-related effects of haloperidol (Pardo et al. 2012). [...] Along with adenosine A2A antagonists such as istradefylline and preladenant (Nunes et al. 2013; Randall et al. 2014; Yohn et al. 2015a; Salamone et al. 2018), and D1 agonists (Yohn et al. 2015b), atypical DAT inhibitors offer promise as potential treatments for effort-related motivational symptoms.

Recently, PD patients have been treated with istradefylline, an adenosine A2A receptor antagonist used for treatment of motor symptoms. The drug was given to 14 PD patients for 12 weeks, measuring anhedonia, apathy and depression using the SHAPS, Apathy Scale and BDI. On istradefylline, SHAPS, Apathy Scale and BDI scores significantly reduced from baseline scores at 4-, 8- and 12-weeks, with mean SHAPS scores at week 12 about 50% reduced from baseline scores, indicating that istradefylline reduces anhedonia (Nagayama et al. 2019). As apathy and depression rates dropped as well as anhedonia, this trial also provided evidence for the overlapping relationship between the three symptoms. [...] Taken together, there is some evidence that dopamine agonists such as pramipexole and piribedil, or the adenosine A2A receptor antagonist istradefylline can improve anhedonia and apathy in PD.
