Japanese drugmaker Kyowa Hakko Kirin (TYO: 4151) say that it launched its novel Parkinson’s disease drug Nouriast (istradefylline) in Japan on May 30.


Istradefylline (KW-6002), 8-[(E)-2-(3,4-dimethoxyphenyl)vinyl]-1,3-diethyl-7-methyl-3,7-dihydro-1H-purine-2,6-dione,  is a selective antagonist at the A2A receptor. It has been found to be useful in the treatment of Parkinson’s disease.[1] Istradefylline reduces dyskinesia resulting from long-term treatment with classical antiparkinson drugs such as levodopa. Istradefylline is an analog of caffeine.

Nouriast, which is the world’s first anti-parkinsonian agent of a first-in-class adenosine A2A receptor antagonist, was listed on the National Health Insurance Drug Price List on May 24, 2013 after the manufacturing and marketing approval in Japan on March 25, the company noted. In clinical trials in Japan, Nouriast improved wearing-off phenomena and was well tolerated in Parkinson’s disease patients
