摘要：In contrast to antipsychosis drugs which inhibit the dopamine-activated adenylate cyclase [ATP pyrophosphate-lyase (cyclizing), EC 4.6.1.1 ] of caudate nucleus, dopaminergic drugs for treatment of Parkinson's disease stimulate this cyclase. Stimulants and inhibitors of cholinergic neurons inhibited this adenylate cyclase activity competitively and specifically. Thus, the mechanism by which dopaminergic medications ameliorate the effects of Parkinson's disease includes activation of the dopamine-sensitive adenylate cyclase. Excessive activation might be present during the psychotic episodes seen in patients with parkinsonism who are overtreated. The enzymatic effects of the drugs that affect cholinergic mechanisms seem to be generally in keeping with the pharmacological reciprocity between psychoses and extrapyramidal function, except for the anticholinergic ones which inhibited this cyclase although they can be hallucinogenic.
