Description
Curator's Comment: description was created based on several sources, including https://www.tga.gov.au/alert/akineton-biperiden-hydrochloride-2-mg-tablets https://www.drugs.com/pro/akineton.html

Biperiden, sold under the brandname Akineton was used as an adjunct in the therapy of all forms of parkinsonism (postencephalitic, arteriosclerotic and idiopathic). Was also useful in the control of extrapyramidal disorders due to central nervous system drugs such as phenothiazines and other groups of psychotropics. Biperiden is a weak peripheral anticholinergic agent. It has, therefore, some antisecretory, antispasmodic and mydriatic effects. In addition, biperiden possesses nicotinolytic activity. Parkinsonism is thought to result from an imbalance between the excitatory (cholinergic) and inhibitory (dopaminergic) systems in the corpus striatum. The mechanism of action of centrally active anticholinergic drugs such as biperiden is considered to relate to competitive antagonism of acetylcholine at cholinergic receptors in the corpus striatum, which then restores the balance. Atropine-like side effects such as dry mouth; blurred vision; drowsiness; euphoria or disorientation; urinary retention; postural hypotension; constipation; agitation; disturbed behavior may been seen. Only limited pharmacokinetic studies of biperiden in humans are available.

Sample Use Guides

Parkinsonism: Dosage should be individualized. Begin with 1/2 a tablet twice daily, and gradually increase to 1 tablet, 3-4 times daily.
Route of Administration: Oral
In Vitro Use Guide
(+)-Biperiden had its highest affinity to M1-receptors (pA2 = 9.07), had low affinity to cardiac M2 alpha-receptors (pA2 = 7.25) and intermediate affinity to ileal M2 beta-receptors (pA2 = 8.27). The ability of (+)-biperiden to discriminate between ileal M2 beta- and cardiac M2 alpha-receptors (factor = 10) was similar to that of 4-diphenylacetoxy-N-methylpiperidine methiodide (4-DAMP, factor = 9). In contrast, (-)-biperiden displayed low but nearly undistinguishable affinity for all muscarinic receptor subtypes studied (pA2 = 5.59 +/- 6.38). (+)-Biperiden discriminated strongly between M1- and cardiac M2 alpha-receptors (factor 66), thus being even more selective than pirenzepine (factor 28) which makes it one of the most M1-/cardiac M2 alpha-selective antimuscarinic drugs now available.
