The present invention is directed to methods of treating movement disorders by administering an effective amount of one or more adenosine A2A receptor antagonists to a patient in need thereof. The present invention also provides methods of decreasing the adverse effects of L-DOPA in patients receiving L-DOPA therapy in the treatment of Parkinson's disease. The present invention further provides methods and compositions for treating Parkinson's disease patients with sub-clinically effective doses of L-DOPA by combining L-DOPA treatment with an effective amount of one or more adenosine A2A receptor antagonists (i.e., L-DOPA sparing effect). The present invention further provides methods of effective treatment of Parkinson's disease by co-administering at least one adenosine A2A receptor antagonist, L-DOPA and a dopamine agonist and / or a COMT inhibitor and / or a MAO inhibitor. The present invention further provides methods of prolonging effective treatment of Parkinson's disease by administering an adenosine A2A receptor antagonist singly or together with a dopamine agonist, and / or a COMT inhibitor, and / or a MAO inhibitor without prior or subsequent administration of L-DOPA, delaying or removing on-set of L-DOPA motor complication.

The invention provides a medicine for treating Parkinson's disease, which is prepared from prepared rhizome of rehmannia, pulp of dogwood fruit, red ginseng, raw astragalus root, root of red rooted saliva, leeches, silkworm, and scorpion.

The invention provides new application of indole-3-carbinol (I3C), diindolyl methane (DIM) and derivative compounds thereof in preparation of medicaments for treating senile dementia. By improving the expression of intracellular free radical resistant specific genes, the medicaments can enhance the automatic free radical clearing capacity of cells and lighten the harm of free radicals to the cells and tissues. The DIM, the I3C and the derivative compounds can effectively reduce the pathogenetic symptoms of senile dementia animal models, obviously improve the dyskinesia of SAM-P / 8 mice, obviously improve the superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity of brain tissues of the SAM-P / 8 mice, reduce the methylene dioxyamphetamine (MDA) content of brain tissues, reduce the choline esterase activity of the brain tissues and enhance the activities of Na<+>-K<+>-ATP enzyme and Ca<2+>-ATP enzyme of the brain tissues, so the DIM, the I3C and the derivative compounds can be used as candidate medicament molecules for treating the senile dementia. Meanwhile, the adopted small molecular substances are easily obtained, are low in price, stable in properties and convenient for storage and transportation, and have broad application prospect.

The invention provides application of a saffron pigment composition in the preparation of medicines for treating Parkinson's disease, and relates to the field of medicines. Found in study, the saffronpigment composition extracted from plants has the advantages that the mobility dysfunction of a mouse can be obviously relieved, the number of TH (tyrosine hydroxylase) positive neurons in substantianigra is increased, the content of DA (dopamine) in the brain striatum of the mouse is increased, and the certain dose reliance is realized; the obvious treatment function is realized on the Parkinson's disease model mouse caused by MPTP (1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine), and the certain anti-Parkinson's disease activity is realized.

The present disclosure is directed to methods of treating neurological disorders in a patient such as Parkinson's disease, drug-induced extrapyramidal reactions, and / or levodopa-induced dyskinesia comprising administering to the patient once daily in the morning a pharmaceutical composition comprising about 50 mg to about 400 mg of extended-release amantadine or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof.
