Notas del editor
One such route is the pulmonary route inwhich apomorphine is
administered by an inhaler device (Fig. 1). The pulmonary route
bypasses the gastrointestinal tract and provides rapid delivery of
the drug to the central nervous system. This is further aided by the
fact that the pulmonary system is highly vascular. An inhaled
version of apomorphine (VR040) has been developed and has been
utilized in a phase 2, placebo-controlled, double-blind clinical trial
at a single center in the UK (ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier:
NCT01683292). The product is aimed at a quick rescue from“off”
periods and, in the clinical trial, 3 doses (0.2, 0.5 and 0.8 mg) were
studied. At 0.5 and 0.8 mg“off” was reversed and“on” state was
achieved at 40 and 20 min respectively; the product was welltolerated
[9]. A subsequent study, with higher doses up to 4 mg,
showed good efficacy with a peak plasma level at 2e7 min after
inhalation and“off” period reversal at a mean of 10 min. Long-term
efficacy data and multicenter trials are still required, but inhalation
may become a feasible delivery route for apomorphine rescue
therapy in the future [10]. Pulmonary irritation on long term
exposure and the ability of PD patients to handle the inhaler device
during severe motor“off” periods remain concerns.
The transdermal patch-pump is a technology where a minipump
is attached to a skin patch and delivers the drug via the
transdermal route (Fig. 2). The method has been utilized for levodopa
delivery and an apomorphine product (ND0701) has been
developed for use by this route in advanced PD as an alternative
option to apomorphine infusion. The safety and tolerability of this
delivery system needs to be further established.
A buccal formulation of apomorphine (APL-130277) is being
developed for use as a rescue medication in overcoming“off” periods
(Fig. 3). The product is a thin-film strip containing apomorphine
in a bilayer (to avoid oral irritation) and patients are
instructed to keep thefilm under the tongue for the drug to be
absorbed through the oral cavity for rapid delivery. In initial
studies,15 of 19 patients studied experienced reversal of their“off”
periods within 30 min (average time to full“on” was 22 min) with
the “on” lasting for a mean duration of 50 min [11]. No major
adverse events have been reported and there is no report as yet of
anyproblematicmucosalirritationinthemouth.Phase3trialswith
APL-130277 are now under way in doses ranging from 10 to 30 mg
in what promises to be an important new development for rescue
therapy in PD (ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT02469090).
Another sublingual device, delivering a buffered solution of
apomorphine (RN-101, Apotone) is also being developed. Using
buffered solutions at a pH of 7.6 in an early trial the product, which
is delivered by a dual chambered device, has shown time toT-max
and C-max being comparable to a single dose of subcutaneous
apomorphine.
Oral therapy with apomorphine could avoid many of the problems
associated with a needle based subcutaneous therapy, but
intestinal absorption of apomorphine remains a key problem.
Borkar et al. [12] used a Caco-2 monolayer that is grown on afilter
support and is known to be a good model for assessing intestinal
permeability and have shown that of two apomorphine esters,
monolauroyl apomorphine (MLA) and dilauroyl apomorphine
(DLA), MLA can be transported and DLA needs to be converted to
MLA for transport. Another study has described the beneficial
motor effects of the orally active compound, R-(-)-11-O-valeryl-Nn-propylnoraporphine,
in 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine (MPTP)-treated, levodopa-primed dyskinetic
common marmosets [13]. Reversal of motor disability and
improvement of dyskinesia in these preclinical studies is described
as paving the way for future clinical trials of apomorphine esters as
oral prodrugs for PD patients
Controlled release drug delivery systems: poly(lactic-coglycolic acid) (PLGA) copolymers
the PLGA polymers could help in promoting slow release of
apomorphine in humans if implanted. Experimental studies by
Regnier-Delplace et al. [14] suggest that novel types of PLGA copolymers,
which either bear free or esterified -COOH groups in the
side chains, provide efficient protection against degradation of
products during storage, remove toxic solvents, and provide
controlled release of apomorphine at a constant rate, thus offering
the potential for future therapeutic approaches.
Apomorphine has been linked to improvement in behavior in
previous studies and open-label observations suggest its safety and
efficacy in PD patients with psychosis and neuropsychiatric
symptoms and in managing the negative symptoms of schizophrenia
[15e17]. Passamonti et al. [18] reported that individual
differences in striatal dopamine transporter (DAT) levels and levels
of nigrostriatal degeneration, measured with DaTscan, drove
striatal neural activity during working memory exercises in PD, via
a D2-receptor-mediated mechanism. The data suggest that
apomorphinechallengeincreasedthe striatalresponsebut reduced
activation of the superior frontal gyrus during working memory in
these patients (Fig. 4). It is possible that thesefindings could be
translated to clinical paradigms to address the behavioral effects of
apomorphine using a combination of functional magnetic resonance
imaging (f MRI) and quantitative DAT imaging studies.

Up to 80% of patients with PD develop functionally significant
cognitive impairment [19,20]. Studies in rodent models of Alzheimer's
pathology and neuropathological studies based on brain
bank studiesinPD patientssuggestthatapomorphinemighthavea
role as a potential modifier of amyloid deposition as well as autophagy
and anti-oxidation [21,22]. In 3xTg-AD mice, apomorphine
infusion appears to improve memory function with a decrease in
intraneuronal amyloid deposition [21]. A retrospective brain bankbased
study of non-demented PD cases suggested a potential antiamyloid
effect of apomorphine [23].

to dopaminergic treatment in PD, particularly the use of dopamine
agonist therapy, which also is complicated by the potential for
dopamine agonist withdrawal syndrome [24]. Recent evidence
suggests that ICD rates may be lower when dopamine agonists are
administered in a continuous drug delivery strategy rather than as
pulsatile therapy. Evidence for this has emerged with low rates of
ICD being reported with rotigotine transdermalpatch therapy in an
open-label, observational, multicenter study compared with oral
dopamine agonists [25]. A 3-year clinical observational study that
screened a cohort of patients receiving apomorphine infusion and
intrajejunal levodopa infusion for specific development of ICD reports
a relatively low rate (9.7%) of new cases on apomorphine
infusionwith clinically relevant ICD. However, apomorphine had to
be discontinuedin only1 casebecause ofICD [26].It is intriguingto
consider whether apomorphine infusion in suitably selected cases
of patients with ICD may be a feasible option to consider, as has
been suggested in a review of management of ICD in PD
