 | 
| Pharmacology: | Ethopropazine, a phenothiazine and antidyskinetic, is used in the treatment of Parkinson-s disease. By improving muscle control and reducing stiffness, this drug
 permits more normal movements of the body as the disease symptoms are reduced. It is
 also used to control severe reactions to certain medicines such as reserpine,
 phenothiazines, chlorprothixene, thiothixene, loxapine, and haloperidol. Unlike
 other NMDA antagonists, ethopropazine — because of its anticholinergic action
 — is largely devoid of neurotoxic side effects. Ethopropazine also has a
 slight antihistaminic and local anesthetic effect.
 | 
| Mechanism_of_action: | Ethopropazine-s antiparkinson action can be attributed to its anticholinergic properties. Ethopropazine partially blocks central (striatal) cholinergic receptors,
 thereby helping to balance cholinergic and dopaminergic activity in the basal
 ganglia; salivation may be decreased, and smooth muscle may be relaxed. Drug-induced
 extrapyramidal symptoms and those due to parkinsonism may be relieved, but tardive
 dyskinesia is not alleviated and may be aggravated by anticholinergic effects.
 Ethopropazine-s local anesthetic effect is due to its antagonism of the NMDA
 glutamate receptor. Glutamate is recognized as an important transmitter in
 nociceptive pathways, and the N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) subtype of the glutamate
 receptor, in particular, has been implicated in the mediation of neuropathic pain.
 Excessive release of glutamate at NMDA receptors on dorsal horn neurons of the
 spinal cord results in hyperactivation and hypersensitivity of these receptors
 (perceived as hyperalgesia), thought to be an integral feature of neuropathic pain.
