A university research group discovered a new class of compounds (unique structures) that could be useful for the treatment of Parkinson’s Disease. What advantages/disadvantages would there be in terms of ultimately moving a drug to the market if the new class of compounds was patented and published at this time?
The new drug for the treatment of Parkinson disease reaction by
3 modes.
1- drug as substitute of dopamine.
2 - drug which block the enzyme responsible for breaking of
dopamine.
3- drug which stimulate the nerve cell for releasing
dopamine.
The new drug of any of the category is helpful for treatment of
Parkinson disease. Permanent cure is not possible in Parkinson
disease but symptom based treatment can be held with this new
medicine.
That disadvantage of new medicine maybe nausea vomiting, balancing
problem. The new medicine can damage liver, kidney and special
effect on the physiology of other Nerve cells.
