There is a good article in the Journal Trends in Pharmacology May 1997 Vol18 No5 pg 141 Parkinson's disease: prospects for impoved drug therapy Authors: Haga/Middlemiss/Sharp & Post It describes the classes of drugs including the new Pramipexol (mirapex) and Roprinirole (ReQuip) ..as well as forthcoming COMT inhibitors etc. Normally I would say this is a technical journal - but most of you in this list know all the PD jargon and can handle this article easily. donna ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ - Donna Bassolino-Klimas, Ph.D. Bristol Myers Squibb Pharma.
