Amantadine is an old, antiviral compound, which moderately improves motor behavior in Parkinson's disease. Its current resurgence results from an innovative, delayed uptake and extended release amantadine hydrochloride capsule, given at bedtime once daily. It is the only approved compound for reduction of involuntary movements, so called dyskinesia, in fluctuating orally levodopa treated patients. It additionally ameliorates ‘off’-intervals characterized by impaired motor behavior. These beneficial effects result from higher and more continuous brain delivery of amantadine. Future clinical research is warranted on preventive effects of this amantadine capsule combined with enzyme blockers of central monoamine oxidase B and peripheral catechol-O-methyltransferase on motor complications in orally levodopa treated patients, as all these pharmacological principles support the concept of continuous dopamine substitution.
