Budipine (brand name Parkinsan) is an antiparkinson agent marketed for the treatment of Parkinson's disease. [2] [3] [4]
While its exact mechanism of action is not well characterized, [2] it is believed to be an NMDA receptor antagonist, [5] [6] but also promoting the synthesis of dopamine. [7]
Because it provides additional benefits relative to existing treatments, it probably does not precisely mimic the mechanism of an existing known treatment. [7] [8]
It is an hERG blocker and can produce long QT syndrome as a side effect. [9]
Budipine can be prepared from the 1-tert-butyl-4-piperidone [1465-76-5] directly by treatment with benzene in the presence triflic acid. [12] This method of synthesis enables a 99% yield of product.

ignored (help)Other representatives of this class of substances, the 1-alkyl-4,4-diphenylpiperidines, such as, e.g., the 1-isopropyl analogue (prodipine) or the 1-methyl analogue (medipine) have similar pharmacological properties including marked tremorin and reserpin antagonism (Schaefer et al., 1984). The mechanism of action of the 1-alkyl-4,4- diphenylpiperidines is not yet understood in detail.
