From the article: *"UWA-101 is even more effective than MDMA at enhancing the quality of levodopa therapy," Professor Piggott said.* *"In the best animal model of Parkinson's disease UWA-101 lengthened [the impact of levodopa therapy] by up to 30 per cent.* *"More importantly, UWA-101 increased the proportion of [the effect] that was of good quality by 178 per cent. If translated to a medicine, this would mean that Parkinson's patients could take their medication less frequently and get a better quality result from it."* *However, the discovery is unlikely to turn into a medicine for Parkinson's because details of the compound were accidently made public several years ago and can no longer be patented.* Does this mean the compound can be put together by your average high school chemistry teacher, as in the TV series Breaking Bad?
