Besonprodil (CI-1041) is a drug which acts as an NMDA antagonist selective for the NR2B subunit. It is under development as a supplemental medication for Parkinson’s disease and has been shown in animals to be effective in counteracting the dyskinesias associated with long term treatment with levodopa and related drugs.
