Long-term treatment with levodopa in Parkinson's disease results in the development of motor fluctuations, including reduced duration of antiparkinsonian action and involuntary movements, i.e., levodopa-induced dyskinesia.

Previous studies in the MPTP-lesioned primate model of Parkinson's disease have demonstrated that alpha(2) adrenergic receptor antagonists such as idazoxan, rauwolscine, and yohimbine can alleviate L-dopa-induced dyskinesia and, in the case of idazoxan, enhance the duration of anti-parkinsonian acti
