Budipine (brand name Parkinsan) is an antiparkinson agent marketed for the treatment of Parkinson's disease.[2][3]

While its exact mechanism of action is not well characterized,[2] it is believed to be an NMDA receptor antagonist,[4][5] but also promoting the synthesis of dopamine.[6]

Because it provides additional benefits relative to existing treatments, it probably does not precisely mimic the mechanism of an existing known treatment.[6][7]
