RESUMEN

Activation of metabotropic glutamate 2 (mGlu2) receptors is a potential novel therapeutic approach for the treatment of parkinsonism. Thus, when administered as monotherapy or as adjunct to a low dose of L-3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine (L-DOPA), the mGlu2 positive allosteric modulator (PAM) LY-487,379 alleviated parkinsonism in 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine (MPTP)-lesioned primates. Here, we sought to investigate the effect of biphenyl-indanone A (BINA), a highly selective mGlu2 PAM whose chemical scaffold is unrelated to LY-487,379, to determine if a structurally different mGlu2 PAM would also confer anti-parkinsonian benefit. In monotherapy experiments, MPTP-lesioned marmosets were injected with either vehicle, L-DOPA/benserazide (15/3.75 mg/kg, positive control) or BINA (0.1, 1, 10 mg/kg). In adjunct to a low L-DOPA dose experiments, MPTP-lesioned marmosets were injected with L-DOPA/benserazide (7.5/1.875 mg/kg) in combination with vehicle or BINA (0.1, 1, 10 mg/kg). Parkinsonism, dyskinesia and psychosis-like behaviours (PLBs) were then quantified. When administered alone, BINA 1 and 10 mg/kg decreased parkinsonism severity by ~22% (p < 0.01) and ~47% (p < 0.001), when compared with vehicle, which was comparable with the global effect of a high L-DOPA dose. When administered in combination with a low L-DOPA dose, BINA 1 and 10 mg/kg decreased global parkinsonism by ~38% (p < 0.001) and ~53% (p < 0.001). BINA 10 mg/kg decreased global dyskinesia by ~94% (p < 0.01) and global PLBs by ~92% (p < 0.01). Our results provide additional evidence that mGlu2 positive allosteric modulation elicits anti-parkinsonian effects. That this benefit is not related to a particular chemical scaffold suggests that it may be a class effect rather than the effect of a specific molecule.

RESUMEN

There is mounting evidence that positive allosteric modulation of metabotropic glutamate type 2 receptors (mGluR2) is an efficacious approach to reduce the severity of L-3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine (L-DOPA)-induced dyskinesia, psychosis-like behaviours (PLBs), while conferring additional anti-parkinsonian benefit. However, the mGluR2 positive allosteric modulators (PAMs) tested so far, LY-487,379 and CBiPES, share a similar chemical scaffold. Here, we sought to assess whether similar benefits would be conferred by a structurally-distinct mGluR2 PAM, biphenylindanone A (BINA). Six 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine (MPTP)-lesioned marmosets exhibiting dyskinesia and PLBs were administered L-DOPA with either vehicle or BINA (0.1, 1, and 10 mg/kg) in a randomised within-subject design and recorded. Behaviour was analysed by a blinded rater who scored the severity of each of parkinsonism, dyskinesia and PLBs. When added to L-DOPA, BINA 0.1 mg/kg, 1 mg/kg, and 10 mg/kg all significantly reduced the severity of global dyskinesia, by 40%, 52% and 53%, (all P < 0.001) respectively. BINA similarly attenuated the severity of global PLBs by 35%, 48%, and 50%, (all P < 0.001) respectively. Meanwhile, BINA did not alter the effect of L-DOPA on parkinsonism exhibited by the marmosets. The results of this study provide incremental evidence of positive allosteric modulation of mGluR2 as an effective therapeutic strategy for alleviating dyskinesia and PLBs, without hindering the anti-parkinsonian action of L-DOPA. Furthermore, this therapeutic benefit does not appear to be confined to a particular chemical scaffold.

RESUMEN

LY-404,039 is an orthosteric agonist of metabotropic glutamate 2 and 3 receptors (mGluR2/3) that may harbour additional agonist effect at dopamine D2 receptors. LY-404,039 and its pro-drug, LY-2140023, have previously entered clinical trials as treatment options for schizophrenia. They could therefore be repurposed, if proven efficacious, for other conditions, notably Parkinson's disease (PD). We have previously shown that the mGluR2/3 orthosteric agonist LY-354,740 alleviated L-3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine (L-DOPA)-induced dyskinesia and psychosis-like behaviours (PLBs) in the 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine (MPTP)-lesioned marmoset. Unlike LY-404,039, LY-354,740 does not stimulate dopamine D2 receptors, suggesting that LY-404,039 may elicit broader therapeutic effects in PD. Here, we sought to investigate the effect of this possible additional dopamine D2-agonist action of LY-404,039 by assessing its efficacy on dyskinesia, PLBs and parkinsonism in the MPTP-lesioned marmoset. We first determined the pharmacokinetic profile of LY-404,039 in the marmoset, in order to select doses resulting in plasma concentrations known to be well tolerated in the clinic. Marmosets were then injected L-DOPA with either vehicle or LY-404,039 (0.1, 0.3, 1 and 10 mg/kg). The addition of LY-404,039 10 mg/kg to L-DOPA resulted in a significant reduction of global dyskinesia (by 55%, P < 0.01) and PLBs (by 50%, P < 0.05), as well as reduction of global parkinsonism (by 47%, P < 0.05). Our results provide additional support of the efficacy of mGluR2/3 orthosteric stimulation at alleviating dyskinesia, PLBs and parkinsonism. Because LY-404,039 has already been tested in clinical trials, it could be repurposed for indications related to PD.

RESUMEN

RATIONALE: Positive allosteric modulation of metabotropic glutamate type 4 (mGlu4) receptors is a promising strategy to alleviate parkinsonian disability and L-3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine (L-DOPA) induced dyskinesia. ADX-88178 is a highly selective mGlu4 positive allosteric modulator (PAM) that previously enhanced the anti-parkinsonian action of L-DOPA in the 6-hydroxydopamine-lesioned rat model of Parkinson's disease (PD). OBJECTIVES: We sought to explore the effects of ADX-88178 on psychosis-like behaviours (PLBs) in the 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine (MPTP)-lesioned marmoset. We also aimed to determine the effect of ADX-88178 on parkinsonism and dyskinesia. METHODS: Six MPTP-lesioned marmosets were administered L-DOPA chronically to induce stable PLBs and dyskinesias. They were then administered ADX-88178 (0.01, 0.1 and 1 mg/kg) or vehicle, in combination with L-DOPA/benserazide (15/3.75 mg/kg), both sub-cutaneously, in a randomised fashion. PLBs, parkinsonism and dyskinesia were then measured. RESULTS: ADX-88178 mildly worsened global PLBs at the dose of 1 mg/kg (by 13%, P = 0.020). L-DOPA alone conferred 158 min of on-time, while the duration of on-time was 212 min (34% increase, P = 0.011), after adding ADX-88178 1 mg/kg to L-DOPA. Accordingly, ADX-88178 1 mg/kg reduced global parkinsonian disability, by 38% (P = 0.0096). ADX-88178 1 mg/kg diminished peak dose dyskinesia by 34% (P = 0.015). Minimal effects were provided by lower doses. CONCLUSIONS: Whereas these results provide additional evidence of the anti-parkinsonian and anti-dyskinetic effects of mGlu4 positive allosteric modulation as an adjunct to L-DOPA, they also suggest that ADX-88178 may exacerbate dopaminergic psychosis. Further studies are needed to evaluate this possible adverse effect of mGlu4 PAMs on PD psychosis.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: We have previously demonstrated that the metabotropic glutamate 2 and 3 (mGlu2/3) antagonist LY341495 reverses the anti-dyskinetic and anti-psychotic benefits conferred by mGlu2 activation and serotonin 2A (5-HT2A) antagonism. Here, we hypothesised that a higher dose of LY341495, associated with a higher antagonistic effect at mGlu3 receptors, would result in a reduction of the reversal of mGlu2 activation and 5-HT2A blockade on dyskinesia, in the 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine (MPTP)-lesioned marmoset. METHODS: After induction of parkinsonism with MPTP, marmosets entered 3 streams of experiments, in which the following treatments were administered, in combination with l-3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine (L-DOPA), after which dyskinesia, psychosis-like behaviours (PLBs) and parkinsonism were rated: 1. vehicle/vehicle, LY354740 (mGlu2/3 orthosteric agonist)/vehicle, LY354740/LY341495 1 mg/kg and LY354740/LY341495 3 mg/kg; 2. vehicle/vehicle, LY487379 (mGlu2 positive allosteric modulator)/vehicle, LY487379/LY341495 1 mg/kg and LY487379/LY341495 3 mg/kg; 3. vehicle/vehicle, EMD-281,014 (5-HT2A antagonist)/vehicle, EMD-281,014/LY341495 1 mg/kg and EMD-281,014/LY341495 3 mg/kg. RESULTS: Each of LY354740, LY487379 and EMD-281,014 reduced the severity of L-DOPA-induced dyskinesia, by 55%, 39% and 40%, respectively (all p < 0.001), as well as the severity of PLBs, by 48%, 36% and 41%, respectively (all p < 0.001). Adding LY341495 1 and 3 mg/kg to each of LY354740, LY487379 and EMD-281,014 resulted in a dose-dependent reversal of their anti-dyskinetic and anti-psychotic actions. No effect on the anti-parkinsonian action of L-DOPA was noted with any treatment combination. CONCLUSION: These results suggest that an antagonistic effect at mGlu3 receptors may not be sufficient to overcome the deleterious effect of mGlu2 blockade on dyskinesia in PD. It remains to be seen whether similar effects would have been obtained with a selective mGlu3 antagonist.

RESUMEN

Dyskinesia and psychosis are complications encountered in advanced Parkinson's disease (PD) following long-term therapy with L-3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine (L-DOPA). Disturbances in the glutamatergic system have been associated with both dyskinesia and psychosis, making glutamatergic modulation a potential therapeutic approach for these. Treatments thus far have sought to dampen glutamatergic transmission, for example through blockade of N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptors or modulation of metabotropic glutamate receptors 5. In contrast, activation of the glycine-binding site on NMDA receptors is required for their physiological response. Here, we investigated whether indirectly enhancing glutamatergic transmission through inhibition of glycine re-uptake would be efficacious in diminishing both dyskinesia and psychosis-like behaviours (PLBs) in the 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine (MPTP)-lesioned common marmoset. Six marmosets were rendered parkinsonian by MPTP injection. Following repeated administration of L-DOPA to induce dyskinesia and PLBs, they underwent acute challenges of the glycine transporter 1 (GlyT1) inhibitor ALX-5407 (0.01, 0.1 and 1 mg/kg) or vehicle, in combination with L-DOPA, after which the severity of dyskinesia, PLBs and parkinsonian disability was evaluated. In combination with L-DOPA, ALX-5407 0.1 and 1 mg/kg significantly reduced the severity of dyskinesia, by 51% and 41% (both P < 0.001), when compared to vehicle. ALX-5407 0.01, 0.1 and 1 mg/kg also decreased the severity of global PLBs, by 25%, 51% and 38% (all P < 0.001), when compared to vehicle. The benefits on dyskinesia and PLBs were achieved without compromising the therapeutic effect of L-DOPA on parkinsonism. Our results suggest that GlyT1 inhibition may be a novel strategy to attenuate dyskinesia and PLBs in PD, without interfering with L-DOPA anti-parkinsonian action.

RESUMEN

Parkinson's disease (PD) psychosis afflicts over half of patients and poses a significant burden on quality of life. The aetiology of PD psychosis is multifactorial and likely arises from the complex interaction between dopamine replacement therapy and disease state. The 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine (MPTP)-lesioned common marmoset is a validated model to predict the efficacy of therapeutic compounds for treatment-related complications, including PD psychosis. In this model, psychosis-like behaviours (PLBs) encompass stereotypies that are idiosyncratic in nature and reproducible with each L-3,4-dihydroxyphenylanaline (L-DOPA) administration. In the present study, we sought to expand upon the existing repertoire of PLBs through the characterisation of novel stereotypical behaviours that appear dependent on the environment. We then discuss our findings in the context of clinical reports on stereotypical behaviours termed "punding" in subjects with PD, which consists of stereotypical repetitive and senseless behaviours. The poor understanding of the pathophysiology governing punding and consequent lack of effective therapies stand to benefit from enhanced characterisation of these stereotypical behaviours in a validated pre-clinical model. We hope that further characterisation of PLBs in the MPTP-lesioned marmoset will be helpful in the evaluation of interventions that seek to alleviate PD psychosis symptoms.

RESUMEN

Advanced Parkinson's disease (PD) is often complicated by the occurrence of dyskinesia, motor fluctuations and psychosis. To this day, few treatment options are available for each of these phenomena, and they are at times not effective or elicit adverse events, leaving some patients short of therapeutic options. We have recently shown that positive allosteric modulation of metabotropic 2 (mGlu2) receptors with the prototypical positive allosteric modulator (PAM) LY-487,379 is efficacious at alleviating both dyskinesia and psychosis-like behaviours (PLBs), while simultaneously enhancing the anti-parkinsonian action of L-3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine (L-DOPA), in the 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine (MPTP)-lesioned marmoset. Here, we assessed the effects of CBiPES, a mGlu2 PAM derived from LY-487,379, but with improved pharmacokinetic properties. Six MPTP-lesioned marmosets with reproducible dyskinesia and PLBs were administered L-DOPA in combination with vehicle or CBiPES (0.1, 1 and 10 mg/kg), after which their behaviour was rated. CBiPES 10 mg/kg reduced global dyskinesia by 60% (P < 0.0001), while peak dose dyskinesia was reduced by 66% (P < 0.001), compared to L-DOPA/vehicle. CBiPES 10 mg/kg also diminished global PLBs by 56% (P < 0.0001), while peak dose PLBs were reduced by 64% (P < 0.001), compared to L-DOPA/vehicle. Lastly, CBiPES enhanced the anti-parkinsonian action of L-DOPA, by reducing global parkinsonian disability by 43% (P < 0.01), compared to L-DOPA/vehicle. Our results provide further evidence that mGlu2 positive allosteric modulation may be an approach that could be efficacious for the treatment of dyskinesia, psychosis and motor fluctuations in PD.

RESUMEN

Antagonising the serotonin 2A (5-HT2A) receptor is an efficacious way to alleviate dyskinesia and psychosis in Parkinson's disease (PD). However, previous research indicates that there might be a limit to the effects conferred by this approach. 5-HT2A receptors were shown to form hetero-dimers with metabotropic glutamate 2 (mGlu2) receptors, in which 5-HT2A blockade and mGlu2 activation elicit equivalent effects at the downstream signalling level. We have previously shown that mGlu2 activation reduces both dyskinesia and psychosis-like behaviours (PLBs) induced by L-3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine (l-DOPA), in the 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine (MPTP)-lesioned primate. Here, we hypothesised that concurrent 5-HT2A antagonism and mGlu2 activation would provide greater anti-dyskinetic and anti-psychotic benefits than either approach alone. We conducted 3 series of experiments in the MPTP-lesioned marmoset. In the first series of experiments, the mGlu2 positive allosteric modulator LY-487,379 and the 5-HT2A antagonist EMD-281,014, either alone or in combination, were added to l-DOPA. In the second series of experiments, the mGlu2/3 orthosteric agonist LY-354,740 and EMD-281,014, either alone or in combination, were added to l-DOPA. In the last series of experiments, we investigated whether mGlu2 blockade would diminish the effects of antagonising 5-HT2A receptors. To this end, the mGlu2/3 orthosteric antagonist LY-341,495 and EMD-281,014, either alone or in combination, were added to l-DOPA. We found that the anti-dyskinetic effect of the combination LY-487,379/EMD-281,014 was greater than the ones conferred by LY-487,379 (by 35%, P < 0.05) and EMD-281,014 (by 38%, P < 0.01). The anti-dyskinetic and anti-psychotic effects of the combination LY-354,740/EMD-281,014 were also greater than the ones conferred by LY-354,740 (by 57% for dyskinesia and 54% for PLBs, both P < 0.001) and EMD-281,014 (by 61% for dyskinesia and 53% for PLBs, both P < 0.001). The anti-parkinsonian action of l-DOPA was maintained with all treatments. Lastly, the addition of LY-341,495 abolished the therapeutic effects of EMD-281,014 on dyskinesia and PLBs. Our results suggest that mGlu2 activation may enhance the anti-dyskinetic and anti-psychotic effects of 5-HT2A blockade and could provide relief to PD patients with dyskinesia and psychotic symptoms beyond what can be achieved with current therapies.

RESUMEN

In Parkinson's disease (PD), management of L-3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine (l-DOPA)-related complications, such as l-DOPA induced dyskinesia and psychosis, remains inadequate, which poses a significant burden on the quality of life of patients. We have shown, in the hemi-parkinsonian rat model of PD, that the selective serotonin type 3 (5-HT3) receptor antagonists ondansetron and granisetron decreased the severity of established dyskinesia, and ondansetron even attenuated the development of dyskinesia. Here, we seek to confirm these favourable data on dyskinesia and to explore the effect of ondansetron on the severity of psychosis-like behaviours (PLBs) in the gold standard model of PD, the 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine (MPTP)-lesioned non-human primate. We first determined the pharmacokinetic profile of ondansetron in the marmoset. Subsequently, six MPTP-lesioned marmosets were administered l-DOPA chronically until they exhibited stable and reproducible dyskinesia and PLBs upon each administration of l-DOPA. On behavioural assessment days, ondansetron (0.01, 0.1 and 1 mg/kg) or vehicle was administered in conjunction with l-DOPA, and the severity of dyskinesia, PLBs and parkinsonism was evaluated. Ondansetron 0.1 mg/kg alleviated global dyskinesia severity by 73% (P < 0.0001) and decreased duration of on-time with disabling dyskinesia by 88% (P = 0.0491). Ondansetron 0.1 mg/kg reduced the severity of global PLBs by 80% (P < 0.0001) and suppressed on-time with disabling PLBs (P = 0.0213). Ondansetron enhanced the anti-parkinsonian action of l-DOPA, reducing global parkinsonism by 53% compared to l-DOPA (P = 0.0004). These results suggest that selective blockade of the 5-HT3 receptor with ondansetron may be an effective approach to alleviate l-DOPA-related complications.

RESUMEN

The 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine (MPTP)-lesioned common marmoset has been used extensively to model Parkinson's disease, L-3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine (L-DOPA)-induced dyskinesia and, more recently, dopaminergic psychosis. Whereas several experimental drugs have been tested in this primate, many of which subsequently underwent clinical trials, efficacy thresholds in the marmoset that would predict efficacy in the clinic are lacking. Here, we aimed to determine such efficacy end points that would be indicative of likely efficacy in clinical studies. To do so, we used the evidence-based medicine reviews published by the International Parkinson and Movement Disorder Society (IPMDS) to select drugs that were rated as clinically efficacious, likely efficacious or not efficacious for the treatment of parkinsonism, dyskinesia and psychosis. We then reviewed the literature in the MPTP-lesioned marmoset and identified articles reporting the effects of drugs that were included in the IPMDS recommendations, following which we estimated efficacy thresholds in the marmoset that would predict efficacy at the clinical level. We propose that, when drugs are administered as monotherapy, ≥ 50% reduction of global parkinsonism may be necessary to predict the possibility of clinical efficacy. As adjunct to a low dose of L-DOPA, we propose that an additional reduction of global parkinsonism ≥ 25% might predict clinical efficacy. As adjunct to an optimal dose of L-DOPA, we propose that additional anti-parkinsonian benefit ≥ 20%, with global parkinsonism as the end point, might predict clinical efficacy. For the treatment of dyskinesia, we suggest that the predictability threshold be set at ≥ 25% reduction of peak dose dyskinesia, while we believe that this threshold should be > 50% reduction of peak dose psychosis-like behaviours for psychosis-related end points. This article represents the first step in determining what efficacy might be necessary to achieve in pre-clinical studies in the MPTP-lesioned marmoset prior to confidently advancing drugs to clinical trials. We hope that it will help in the drug discovery and development process, notably by avoiding exposing patients to drugs that have little probability of clinical efficacy based upon pre-clinical experiments.

RESUMEN

In recent studies performed in the 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine (MPTP)-lesioned marmoset model of Parkinson's disease (PD), we have demonstrated that activation of the metabotropic glutamate 2 (mGlu2) receptor with the orthosteric agonist (OA) LY-354,740 and the positive allosteric modulator (PAM) LY-487,379 is effective at alleviating both dyskinesia and psychosis-like behaviours (PLBs) triggered by the administration of L-3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine (L-DOPA). Because mGlu2 OAs and PAMs bind to different sites on the receptor, we hypothesised that greater reductions of dyskinesia and PLBs would be obtained upon concurrent administration of LY-354,740 and LY-487,379. In experiments performed in six MPTP-lesioned marmosets, we administered LY-354,740 (0.1 mg/kg), LY-487,379 (1 mg/kg), LY-354,740 (0.1 mg/kg) + LY-487,379 (1 mg/kg), or vehicle, in combination with L-DOPA and determined the effect of each treatment on dyskinesia, PLBs, and parkinsonism. When compared to vehicle, LY-354,740 and LY-487,379, administered alone or concurrently, significantly reduced dyskinesia. The combination LY-354,740 + LY-487,379 provided mild additional benefit when compared to LY-487,379 alone, but not compared to LY-354,740. For PLBs, when compared to vehicle treatment, LY-354,740, LY-487,379, and combination thereof all alleviated the abnormal behaviours, but the combination LY-354,740 + LY-487,379 did not provide greater relief than either drug alone. The anti-parkinsonian effect of L-DOPA was not altered by any of the treatments. Our results provide further evidence that mGlu2 activation might be a novel approach to treat L-DOPA-induced dyskinesia and dopaminergic psychosis in PD. However, they do not suggest that greater therapeutic effect would be achieved upon combining an mGlu2 OA and an mGlu2 PAM.

RESUMEN

We have recently shown that activation of metabotropic glutamate 2 (mGlu2) receptors through positive allosteric modulation and orthosteric stimulation is a novel approach to reduce L-3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine (L-DOPA)-induced dyskinesia and dopaminergic psychosis in Parkinson's disease (PD). We have obtained these benefits with the mGlu2-positive allosteric modulator (PAM) LY-487,379 and the mGlu2/3 orthosteric agonist (OA) LY-354,740 in experiments conducted in the 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine (MPTP)-lesioned marmoset. Here, we sought to pharmacologically characterise the anti-dyskinetic and anti-psychotic effects of LY-487,379 and LY-354,740, by assessing whether their benefits would be reversed by the mGlu2/3 orthosteric antagonist LY-341,495. Six MPTP-lesioned marmosets exhibiting stable dyskinesia and psychosis-like behaviours (PLBs) entered the experiments. In the first series of experiments, animals were injected L-DOPA in combination with either vehicle, LY-487,379 (10 mg/kg), LY-341,495 (1 mg/kg) or LY-487,379/LY-341,495. In the second series of experiments, marmosets were injected L-DOPA in combination with either vehicle, LY-354,740 (1 mg/kg), LY-341,495 (1 mg/kg) or LY-354,740/LY-341495. As we previously demonstrated, both LY-487,379 and LY-354,740 alleviated dyskinesia (by 44% and 47%, both P < 0.001) and PLBs (by 44% and 39%, P < 0.01 and P < 0.001) when compared to vehicle treatment. When LY-487,379 and LY-354,740 were administered concurrently with LY-341,495, the anti-dyskinetic and anti-psychotic benefits were abolished. When administered with L-DOPA in the absence of LY-487,379 and LY-354,740, LY-341,495 did not worsen dyskinesia or PLBs and did not hamper L-DOPA anti-parkinsonian action. Our results indicate that the anti-dyskinetic and anti-psychotic effects of mGlu2-positive allosteric modulation and mGlu2/3 orthosteric stimulation are reversed by mGlu2/3 orthosteric blockade.
