Tozadenant (INN Tooltip International Nonproprietary Name, USAN Tooltip United States Adopted Name; developmental code names RO4494351 and SYN-115) is an adenosine A2A receptor antagonist which was under development for the treatment of Parkinson's disease and liver disorders but was never marketed due to safety concerns. [1] [3] It is taken orally. [1] Tozadenant was under development by Roche, Acorda Therapeutics, and Biotie Therapies. [1] It reached phase 3 clinical trials for Parkinson's disease prior to the discontinuation of its development. [1] The development of tozadenant was discontinued due to findings of agranulocytosis and associated serious adverse effects in clinical trials including five patient deaths. [1] [4] [5]
